# PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - An Oregon-based tax resistance group
# operated a "warehouse bank'' that allowed hundreds of people
# to illegally conceal income and assets from the IRS, a federal
# indictment alleges.
#
# Six people listed in the indictment were arrested and another
# was being sought, authorities said.
#
# The nine-count indictment filed Wednesday in federal court charges
# the seven members of the Christian Patriot Association of
# conspiring to defraud the Internal Revenue Service and violate
# federal income tax laws.
#
# Members of the group have declared themselves sovereign citizens
# exempt from paying taxes, officials said.
#
# The illegal bank, operated out a warehouse just east of Portland,
# offered customers anonymous banking transactions to conceal income
# and assets, according to IRS Special Agent Kathleen Sulmonetti.
# Nine hundred customers deposited $186 million in the warehouse
# bank with the money then being shuffled into legitimate commercial
# bank accounts, she said.
