The U.S. Treasury Contacted Me About Cohen's Tax Fraud - The Prosecutor Is Simply Lying And Concealing Evidence
Streeter: You mentioned that you were trying to contact Mr. Cohen in reference to tax information you needed, right? That your 1099 or K-1? Lynch: Many different tax and accounting and financial information I required to deal with my federal and state tax returns ... Now, once you were released from or quit Mr. Cohen’s employ, at some point later the IRS was of the opinion that money that was missing out of his account, that was income to you, correct? Lynch: I’ve never heard that. I’ve met with the agents for the Treasury and I’ve never been told that, ever. Streeter: Well, you mentioned -- Lynch: I talked to Agent Tejeda, I’ve never heard that. Streeter: Well, you mentioned that the IRS came after you -- Lynch: They didn’t come after me. (RT 495) Streeter: Okay -- did the IRS ever contact you? Lynch: No. Streeter: I haven’t finished my question, your honor. After you quit Mr. Cohen’s employ, did the IRS ever contact you about paying back taxes? Lynch: No, I’ve never heard from the IRS that I owed the money. Streeter: And the IRS never contacted you about any back taxes that you owe? Lynch: I don’t owe any money. Streeter: So it’s your testimony that no one associated with Mr. Cohen, Mr. Kory, Ms. Rice or any of his business people ever gave you the information, the tax documents that you are requesting? Lynch: For the years 2004 and 2005, that’s correct. And they’ve testified to that as well. Streeter: Now, you mentioned that the reason that you continued to contact Mr. Cohen was solely for business purposes, that it was to get the information for the tax documents? Lynch: Did I say solely for business purposes? Kelly: Objection; misstates the evidence. Lynch: I don’t recall that. Streeter: Is that the reason why you continued to contact him, is that you needed -- Lynch: One of the main reasons I contacted Leonard Cohen is for -- I have K-1s that were transmitted to the IRS that do not belong to me. , I was not a partner on LC Investments. That causes tremendous confusion with my taxes. I have a default judgment where two companies have been -- Leonard Cohen said he’s the beneficial owner. That is not factual. I have the evidence. This caused my federal tax returns that were filed to be altered. This causes confusion for me. Streeter: Okay. Lynch: I have tried to get all of this clarified. I’ve asked for -- there is not a forensic accounting. There is a ledger. (RT 497) Dear Heather, Leonard Cohen testified, the income and royalties were on the accounting ... (RT 498) Streeter: So --- And it’s also your testimony that the emails you sent, you didn’t feel that those were harassing, right, Ms. Lynch? Lynch: Asking for information for my federal tax returns and state - including when I’ve been garnished is harassment? Streeter: Right: That’s what you’re saying, none of the emails were harassing. Lynch: I was also given legal advice that no one can prevent me from requesting that information from Mr. Cohen. Streeter: It’s your position that the emails that were sent -- Lynch: No. I feel like I’m being harassed by not being given the information. So that's a no? (RT 498) Lynch: That’s my answer. (RT 499) Streeter: And then the first part, the subject it says, re: Marty Machat letter to Cannon Carter/Irving Trust re. his share of the Stranger Music, Inc., right? Lynch: That’s correct. Streeter: Okay. There’s no mention in that about request for tax document in that -- Lynch: No, but this is information that I feel that Leonard Cohen sold something that I was part of the deal. This has to do with a very serious business matter that I would like to put on the record, my feeling about. I was not told -- advised at the time by Mr. Cohen that Steven and Marty Machat owned 15%. So that’s why that is here. (RT 499) So it wasn’t just taxes that you contacted Mr. Cohen about, there were other things -- Lynch: Other fraudulent matters. Streeter: That had nothing to do with -- Lynch: This may have to do with tax matters, yes. As I told you, Robert Kory told me that there were problems with Stranger Music and taxes, and this is Stranger Music. Streeter: But on that there’s nothing about taxes, correct? Lynch: But Stranger Music in a tax problem, and I’ve gone to the IRS on that as well. So that is a tax matter, yes. (RT 500)
