The Dan Meador Research Group began in early 2002 research into the concept called the "relation back doctrine".  During that year, they published six different updates to the article documenting their research, which they posed prominently on the Yahoo Groups Dan Meador Research Distribution list at:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DanMeador/

The article referred to section [9.7] 14.17.6 (04-30-1998) of the IRS' Internal Revenue Manual to show that the IRS knew that it was committing wrongdoing in violating this legal doctrine.  Below is an excerpt from the section of the IRM that was removed:

6. The Relation Back Doctrine maintains that property is actually forfeited at the time it is used illegally, unless the statute states otherwise. At that instant, all rights and legal title to the asset pass to the government. Seizure and formal proceedings simply confirm, or proclaim, the forfeiture that has already taken place. Therefore, any liens placed on the property after the date the asset is used illegally will be a lien filed against government property. Theoretically, no third party can acquire a legally recognizable interest in the property after the illegal use. However, the Supreme Court ruled that a good faith purchaser can assert an Innocent Owner defense prior to the government obtaining a judgment of forfeiture U.S. v. 92 Buena Vista Ave., Rumson, N.J. 113 S.Ct. 1126 (1993). In all instances, District Counsel shall be consulted prior to releasing a tax lien or to releasing the seized property to satisfy a tax lien. [Underscore added for emphasis]

We downloaded their entire website Internal Revenue Manual for posting on our website on 3/11/02 and that section of the IRM was intact at that time.  Shortly after the Sixth revision of the Relation-Back article was posted in about June of 2002, the IRS conspicuously removed that section of their IRM from their website so that they would not be incriminated.  This act shows that there is a concerted effort on the part of the IRS to obstruct justice and cover-up their wrongdoing.  We posted a news article on this scandal on our website here.
