It would be a genuine bonanza for Florida Revenuers to hang out at Sun N Fun and take TN's to enrich their coffers. I believe that the situation is a bit more complicated than the Aero-News article was able to portray, but it wouldn't surprise me if it were indeed the way the scam operates. Sounds like a wonderful, complicated, costly and time-consuming trip for one of the "culprits" to take it on up to the Supreme Court. :-))
