    I don’t know what an FRN is (something stupid, I assume), but damn, I wish I had the kind of money where I owed a million bucks in income tax. I’d pay it gladly and go back to my spring holiday in Tuscany.

      I’d guess since he said it was from intellectual property I bet it was a scam where he claimed something like “5 million intellectual property income” to secure a loan from a bank. So now the IRS is coming after him because he claimed income to a bank but didn’t pay taxes on it.

        That makes a lot of sense given that his bank “took all his FRNs”.

        I think I’d get punched if asked a friend to “borrow some FRNs”. Like that request would send up enough of a red flag that a pop to the shoulder would be a reasonable reaction.

      As an autogenous autonomous human vessel, I can access alta-vista to discover it’s a floating-rate note!
      Not a voucher, nor coupon.

      I’m off to the Moors, sheepster…!

      I had to register something called an FRN when I received my amateur radio license from the FCC. I assume that in my situation, FRN stands for FCC Registration Number or something.

      Somehow I doubt that’s what the sovcit is talking about.
