    IRS leaders said they collected $38 million in delinquent taxes from more than 175 high-income taxpayers in the past few months.

    In one case, an individual had used money owed to the government to buy a Maserati and a Bentley, and roughly 100 high-income people tried to get favorable tax treatment through Puerto Rico without meeting certain tax requirements. Many of those cases are expected to face criminal investigation.
