I finished calculating my taxes for 2024. Roughly speaking 20k more than I had already paid was on the line. It looks like the amount I prepaid in 2024 will cover it though.

That being said it was a particularly gut wrenching 2 days going over the numbers / figuring things out as I waited to collect the W2's and other forms.

I can't imagine how dealing with $80 million USD and 75~ people's job would feel.

I recall an article recently about organized crime gangs infiltrating the USPS. I wonder if this is the case here? [1]

I wonder if their devices are pwnd. Those "deep scans" on their mobile and laptop are not very reassuring. But it might also be that some endpoint at Amazon is breached.
