Gary Mauney is the former chair and founder of the abusive tax shelter committee of the American Association for Justice. Gary has represented tax shelter clients against KPMG, BDO Seidman, PricewaterhouseCoopers ("PWC"), Deutsche Bank, Brown & Wood, and many others.
These and other accounting firms, investment banks, and law firms sold or "promoted" tax shelters by the names of FLIP, OPIS, BLIPS, CARDS, Contingent Deferred Swap, Son of BOSS, and many other acronyms. In many of these shelters, the promoters knew they were illegal, knew they lacked economic substance, and knew that the outcome of the tax shelter investments had been rigged against the investor. Another common feature of these shelters is the fact that the promoters included millions of dollars of hidden fees in the shelter investment structures.
