The IRS doesn't care how much you make in ill-gotten gains if you pay the taxes. You can bootleg all you want and if you pay taxes, you are good. It's not a joke. The IRS knows what companies and how much they are making from selling goods and services to drug cartels too, but they don't care, because they want more tax money and they will take the money no matter how it was obtained.
