Monday I ran a story from the News Sentinel about some folks who had scammed the IRS for $10.8M. Some involved were here in Lenoir City.

After a little research and cross referencing, there seems to be a direct connection to the two stories. Two of the people named as arrested in the IRS scam were Aurora Carvajal and her husband, Luis Carvajal.

The address of the home in Loudon mentioned in the IRS seizure public notice was owned by Aurora Carvajal and her husband, Luis Carvajal and the business in Lenoir City mentioned in the IRS seizure public notice was also owned by them.

So now we know. They were allegedly involved in a IRS scam that took more than ten million dollars from the IRS and the IRS appears to have taken back 355k of the loot.

Mystery solved.
