So El Chapo's daughters (US citizens) declare $50 Million, 10 years from now and nothing happens? I doubt it. Bells will ring

If you sold drugs...might as well break tax laws too or you risk your profession:)

Might be wrong about this, but I believe how it works in practice is that a tax return just can't be used as evidence in a court of law (for non-tax related reasons). So if the FBI just so happened to obtain these tax returns through some means, then found /different/ evidence, then using that instead would be fine.
