Whoever said, “they’re getting a divorce to hide his assets” gets a gold star.

[Roc2020]

1. They are trying to make sure

he is put under the cell block and they will find a way to do it.

[47of74]

25. and that murdering fuckstick entirely deserves to be put in a cave so deep...

....that he'll have to look up to see fucking hell.

[packman]

2. Hey, Derek- give them a call

[Judi Lynn]

3. Don't murder anyone if you can't afford to be examined. n/t

[HotTeaBag]

4. 2014 wasn't that long ago and only $96,000 was off-duty work.

How the Hell did he make that much money that quickly as a cop with a yearly W2?

[yardwork]

14. How much if any was from his wife?

[HotTeaBag]

28. Must be quite a bit.

His salary would have been impossible to hide and they already know where a lot of it came from and there's only so much time in a day to work.

[yardwork]

33. Or....

[madeup64]

35. I worked for as a family law paralegal

Our firm gave reduced rates to police/fire/medics so we did quite a few cop's divorces. Off duty cops here in AZ can make $30-$35 an hour doing security on off time. Places like Peter Piper Pizza here in Phoenix have cops off duty during busy weekends if the area has higher crime rates.

5. I think everyone said that

[CaptainTruth]

6. This makes me happy.

[Fullduplexxx]

7. Trump pardon in 3...2....1.

[truthisfreedom]

12. president can only pardon federal crimes.

[geardaddy]

8. Yep, I figured his wife wasn't divorcing him because he's a horrible human.

I figured it was to hide assets.

Now, can we get someone to kneel on his neck?

[Wellstone ruled]

10. Well well,the can of worms is open.

How many more 3 rd Precinct people were not reporting their off duty income? Hint,tons.

[geardaddy]

11. Not just 3rd precinct

All of the precincts have cops moonlighting as security somewhere.

[Wellstone ruled]

13. Yes.

The Police Federation has a Security Company that did the Vikings and Twins Games. Believe they use to have the Gophers but that was shut down.

[moonscape]

17. I'm sure this will be a duh moment but: how does getting a divorce hide assets? n/t

[christx30]

24. The divorce severs the legal link between them.

Any civil suit would probably take years. So anything she “won” in the divorce before then would be *hers* and not theirs, making them immune to any judgment.
That’s why the divorce announcement cams just days after he got arrested. Everyone involved knew the world was about to come crashing down on their heads.

[moonscape]

29. Thanks! n/t

[FakeNoose]

26. So she gets the dough and he goes to jail?

I guess that means she's liable for all the back taxes too.

Anybody like a mint?

[ffr]

38. I'd love some. The whole family would.

[Voltaire2]

9. Good. Those charges don't have the police

exemption.

He should have a lot of fun in prison.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

15. So, a murderer and a tax cheat was out there killing. Law & Order? Or blue & white privilege?

[BComplex]

41. White privilege to hide more crimes.

This might be how we begin to clean out police departments.

[Cattledog]

16. He had a $100,000 BMW!!!!!!!!!!!

[Skittles]

18. a criminal and a thug

jeez

[warmfeet]

19. Better Call Saul!

[Marcuse]

20. Add voter fraud. He resides in Minnesota but votes in Florida.

[cyndensco]

23. ...and another one.....

[Bernardo de La Paz]

43. He's Republicon. Surprised?

[cyndensco]

44. Not at all!

I have been waiting to hear more about the voting fraud....didn't know he had tax felonies too.

Couldn't have happened to a better guy...or party.

[Dreampuff]

21. Thank you

For posting this because it made me do a bit of research. He didn't only unlawfully vote in Florida, it appears that the $100,230 BMW wasn't taxed properly because he didn't pay the tax in Minnesota, but instead paid it in Florida for a much lower price. It was serviced 11 times in Minnesota.

He deserves everything he gets.

22. Minnesota Public Radio story (in case hit paywall limits at Star Tribune)

https://www.mprnews.org/story/2020/07/22/chauvin-wife-charged-with-tax-fraud

Washington County Attorney Pete Orput alleges that Derek Chauvin and his estranged wife Kellie Chauvin underreported their income by almost half a million dollars between 2014 and the end of 2019. The couple didn’t file taxes at all between 2016 and 2018. The nine felony charges against the couple range from failing to file tax returns to filing false returns.

and lots of details

[Cha]

31. Damn.. "didn't file taxes at all between

2016 and 2018"! Who did they think they were? The kind to get away with anything?

[mascarax]

32. Yes, 3 years too!

That was surprising.
Keep digging...probably more.

[Evolve Dammit]

27. Just another criminal with sadistic tendancies.

[Cha]

30. How the Hell did Chauvin think he could get

away with that?!

When karma hits like a MF

[christx30]

36. Well, he's a cop, and they usually get away with literal murder.

I guess he forgot about Al Capone. They couldn't get him on any of the alcohol stuff, or the mafia ties or murders. But the IRS had him in Alcatraz.

[LogicFirst]

34. She filed for divorce. Call this t.v. show

NO LOVE BEFORE LOCKUP

[ffr]

37. And only Bubba for conjugal visits.

Too bad.

[tenderfoot]

39. It's like police departments don't hire the best people

eom

[ForgoTheConsequence]

40. These are state charges, correct?

Does that mean we should be expecting an IRS investigation also?

[Aristus]

42. Just like George Floyd, he hasn't been tried for or convicted of a crime,

so can we kneel on Chauvin's neck for a while?
