I say to let them fail and send the owner to court [jail] for tax evasion. If he wasn't prepared for taxes, then he certainly doesn't have a business plan worthy of surviving. Does he even have a lawyer and an accountant? Enough people are upset as it is with dispensaries opening up that we shouldn't be fueling that fire with things like cheating on taxes, especially when many states are legalizing MMJ in order to increase tax revenues. We need to show legitimacy in business, and severely penalize those who do not comply. I feel it would be good publicity to show we take such matters as a tax cheat seriously.

Also, if I'm not mistaken, donations to pay back taxes are considered income and thus, are taxable themselves.
