There is something to be said about with whom a person goes into business. In the 1980’s, my brother and two friends formed a partnership doing surveying in Colorado. Shortly after getting established, the two friends ousted my brother and took all of the money. There was an IRS audit in which a gain was determined, and my brother was included in the assessment. He quietly paid it, then one day, he received all of his money back; his “friends” paid the assessment not knowing it was paid. We…
