The FBI Raided car dealerships in North Alabama...

Quote

A car dealership in Fort Payne gets locked down today while state agents serve a search warrant.

On Thursday morning, agents from the Alabama Department of Revenue went to the Crown Kia dealership in Fort Payne.

According to a spokesman for the department, agents were serving a court issued search warrant there, as well as other crown dealerships in Anniston and Gadsden.

The agent would not give any details on the nature of the investigation.

The revenue department along with agents from the F.B.I. were seen taking boxes from the dealerships.

The accounting firm of Kirkland and company in Gadsden was also served with search warrants.

Gadsden, AL - A raid on three auto dealerships temporarily shut down a well-known business on Thursday, as the state collected financial records with no warning.

Crown Motors sells Dodge, Chrysler and Kia vehciles in at least three counties, but today business came to a sudden halt. Basically the same thing happened at both dealerships in Gadsden and Anniston. Car lots were roped off by yellow crime tape and financial records were hauled away. It's a state led investigation to find out if the record books add up.

This sounds like more of a tax related issue to me.

I'm trying to see what the connection IS to Bama... Not seeing it. Have you seen something somewhere that would seem to pull the two together?

Yeah, that's probably all there is to it. The bammer's asses probably just synched up....lol.

FBI wouldn't come in I don't think for a tax related issue....would they???

The only thing I could see relating to Bama is just the rumors that cars were given. I think it is interesting that the rumors are out there, and then car dealorships are being searched by the FBI. I have no idea if it means shit, I am just now "remotely interested"... moreso than I was before the Feds went into car dealership in Anniston and Gadsden...

I do and I don't. It's interesting and keeps me watching, but I feel like I'm watching a combination of The X Files and Lost. Sci Fi meets spiderweb plot.

I just hope the show doesn't start getting too...stupid, if you know what I mean. I really like the ideas behind most of the stories. Did you see the Season Finale? That was a crazy little twist at the end.

Probably not. They fall under different divisions of the executive branch of government and the IRS has its own law enforcement division.

My guess would be a violation of the RICO statutes - some sort of organized conspiracy to launder money, etc.? And no, I am NOT tying this back to the bammers... I can just see how owning multiple dealerships would make it easy to do.

I'm with you. Betting this has zero, zip, zilch, nada, nothing, naught to do with Alabama. Sad that we're reduced to peddling it as if it does.

Most likely you are correct.

I will still hold out hope that the NCAA, FBI, CIA, INTERPOL and Marvin the Martian will rain down fury upon the heads of the crimson stain in Tuscaloosa for some unified galactic recruiting conspiracy.
