A $7B gift to the Treasury? 17%? Ray Madoff? u/LoneWulf what say you? 😆
Actually, it's $7B in taxes owed.

GEOTUS had to leave politics to get back on the list. Yeah, I know he didn’t really leave, but he actually lost net worth while in office. Probably the first to have that happen.
How do you know for sure it's taxes owed? The article suggests it could have been a gift, and that seems odd.
I was going by the title: US Treasure reveals it received a $7B tax payment (in estate and gift taxes).
If you give someone a gift over a certain amount of money, you have to pay taxes on it.
The article implies that it could have been a gift to the TREASURY. Have you ever heard of such a thing?
