Taxing a Client | The People's Court 

WTF??! No conclusion??? I think the Defendant has been running a shady business for years it's catching up to him...

$850 for taxes is a scam.

$850 for doing taxes??

The defendant is definitely a Nigerian and knowing my people I def believe the plaintiff 😂😂

Who pays that kind of money to have their taxes done? That doesn't even make sense.

That is a high amount of money being asked for a simple tax return. I think this guy is taking advantage of people. Some of his clients are very poor and not knowledgeable. He then uses that to alter paper work so that the money goes into his account and then short changes the customer. The customer could get back $800 and he just says here is $200. To someone that is poor, they might think $200 is a lot of money and he just pockets the rest. Kind of shameful if that is what he is doing. He also was trying to pull one over on the judge with the paperwork he was giving her.

The defendant is charging way too much for Taxes 😮

I pay $150, and it's 2024

Pls update or I'm inclined to think the accountant was shady AF.

My dad's a CPA and working with him, we've never heard of anything ridiculous like this.

Dang, I only charge my ex $100 to do his tax returns. I should revise my rates. haha

I hate it when Harvey doesn't update us on what happened.

Aww man, I thought Harvey was going to tell us which litigant won!

What in the pyramid scheme is going on 😂

850 dollars is crazy

At $850 I been cutting my throat big time!!!! Lol

No one pays a fee to have taxes done, that is more than the refund. The tax preparer is scaming his customers, this one is not the first, likely for years.. For the refund amount, a $150 or $200 sounds about right.

So we’ll never know what the verdict is?

How did it end after week?

What? No update?

This is crazy i filed taxes every year i never paid $850 for someone to my taxes straight scam😂 u gotta be nuts

These rats taking advantage of economically underprivileged people make me sick. I'm a CPA. $850 for a simple 1040 is daytime robbery, and especially so if this clown can't even produce an engagement letter stating that this is the agreed upon price for services rendered. There IS such a thing as pay-by-refund, but it does NOT work that way. This tax preparer is a crook and they need to be stopped.

they do their own people wrong

Most I’ve paid is $400 & I have kids, rent rebates, child tax credits, EIC, daycare expenses, school loans, child support & my w2’s…

This gives me Nigerian prince vibes 🫣

9:42 This is the first time you think you have heard of this right…plaintiff: This tv? 🤣🤣 this guy is killing me, brilliant!

I know I live in Canada but I only pay $35 to have my taxes done 😭 anything over $200 is crazy especially if it’s for those who don’t have a complex tax situation.

I always do my taxes for free through the IRS website. Before that I did them myself with the paper forms. Tax preparation is outrageous, unless you have a lot of deductions, it's not worth itemizing anymore.

Well this was pointless. No update!

The more I listen to these cases, the more I begin to realize that a lot of times, the information that Harvey is relaying is inaccurate as it relates to the case. He often mixes up details. The amount of the refund was NOT the same as the fee for preparing the taxes. It was clearly stated that when the defendant forwarded the tax refund to the plaintiff, he had DEDUCTED the (bogus) fee for tax preparation.

And then what happened???? Come on Harvey, where's the update?

Wait a sec, how is there no update to this? There should clearly be an update at the end to say whether defendant found the proper stuff or not. Court staff dropped the ball with this one

This is what you call "fee or scope creep" where the people will charge more outside of the bounds of what was discussed. The defendant is a charlatan.

This is why we have used a CPA for more than 20 years - husband did our taxes before that and never had any problems! These people sound very shady!

Shady business 😂

Giving fraud

The plantiff's facial expressions are the best 😂

ya'll been off scheduuuulllleeeeeeeeeee lol

The defendant is a sneaky bastard!

200 for a simple return is crazy, he must do some "funny" accounting

We need a part 2!

I never had to pay that amount! He’s a scam

I see a scam

Defendant states he works in a depressed neighborhood, and "it's like pro bono"...for $850???!!!

850 for doin taxes man kma 😩😩😭

He’s about to go to the best photo shop guy in the city, to create some documents! He’s scamming!😂

Man has he been getting ripped off for years!!!😢

8 hundred and 50 dollars for taxes is Crazyyyy

Forgive me, please. Why do people defraud each other? Why is it native Africans a lot? I am truly bewildered. We are always hearing a check on the internet is available if one sends US $ or some other such scam. Why? This just so sketchy and wrong.

The defendant is a total scammer and I bet that document has a forged signature. If the defendant gets the refund and only sends the client what he wants and keeps back an aditional $650 each time, how on earth would his clients know that he has kept that money. He needs to be prosecuted for fraud...

UGHHHH THEY DIDN'T EVEN GIVE US A CONCLUSION

Wonder what the outcome was with this case.

I want to see the tax mans taxes. I’m gonna go on a wild guess and say he’s not saying he’s charging that much.

i do my own taxes thank goodness

Everything out of the defendants mouth is a blatant lie. This is NOT how CPA’s operate and if he’s been doing this for 30 years, that’s a lot of victims to this scam. “I’ll do your taxes BUT I keep all the money you get back”. Yeah, NO

Who tf charges and pays $850 fot tax preparation?! That's insane. No one would ever pay that amount. This defendant is FOS.

Hello, what's the update on this story

SO WAT HAPPENED ?

Well...that was a waste of 10 minutes! What was the point of even posting this case??

My neighbor was arrested for fraud. The Feds raided his apartment and took out a lot of boxes and proof of the fraud. He should been sentenced and gone to prison but he was an old man. Messing around with the IRS is serious business.

Did they ever show the update to this episode?

On what planet does the defendant live on......smh

Wonder if CPA found contracts

rump when he put in the new form and how it was so much better it actually cost more to do taxes and idiots believed him 😂😂

Ok…is it me or did Douglass say…”your welcome Baby” 😑🤔😂😂….please tell me what he say….

I love this judge.

The defendant is such a thief 😢

Dudes probably been ripping him off for years...😮

He’s shady someone needs to investigate his practices and it goes to his bank account because he does pro bono work? He’s taking advantage of low income people. Is he a CPA? PS $850 for taxes that’s crazy

Where’s the second part of this case??

Its "your highness" in their country.

The plaintiff looks like me and it’s weirding me out

There’s no hell in way! I pay 300 for doing taxes because of stocks plus

This is a common scam

It’s sad that we just can’t do business straight up as adults!

Someone can easily place a person's signature pn a document... especially if it's a copy

Where is part two!!!!

Dang 850 for taxes wow.... wholey cow

That tax man looks shady..., remember this mans face and avoid at all costs

Crazy. I pay $100 for mine. Maybe plaintiffs taxes are really difficult 😬

Who else skipped to the end to see if he got scammed or not? lol this sucks!!! I wanted to know on what happened

ok. doesnt income tax refunds in the usa get auto deposited in a persons bank account?

Defendent is a crook, it shows loud and clear.

Where's part 2?

BUT WHAT HAPPENED?!?!?!

What a crook what pple get out out of hurting Boole that way n they continue to live their lives like nothing

Side eye always guilty

He scamming period because why you didn’t show the previous years of $800 charge. Bye.

Oh god lock him up already he’s a thief

He should be suing whoever f’d up his hairline also 🥹

The lies the lies know way know how 850.for taxes don't believe him nawwww !!!!!😠🙄🤔😖😖

I adore this program but if this is how they are respecting my commitment I will stop watching; nothing like making a cliffhanger comment and then not showing the next part or making any reference to when we can watch the completion ... Dear Judge M. "losing your fan base one-by-one"

Part 2 tomorrow

Reason #12 why I would never trust another African with my money

He a scammer! Most of them are!!!!!! Sorry to say it!

Black life sometime like this shows up

lol!! Seriously? This clueless Judge has never heard of H&R Block before??

I dont feel bad for anyone who falls for a scam

Why no conclusion??? Not cool.

She's just fighting and arguing with both litigants right out the gate! I've never been on this show or any other courtroom televised show but I almost wished that I had because she wouldn't talk to me like she does most black and brown people. She even disrespectfully waved the plaintiff off as she stood up.
