A 92-year old woman sold 1,300+ suicide kits in an "act of compassion" — without checking whether the customers were terminally ill.

Wayward do-gooder Sharlotte Hydorn faces a year in prison... for failing to file federal tax returns.

Agents who raided her home in suburban San Diego last year found checks that were not cashed and thousands of dollars in cash from buyers, her attorney said.

She wasn't in it for the money... unlike the federal government, which really does expect people to file their tax returns.  

Prosecutors said she took no steps to verify the physical condition, age, identity or mental state of her customers and therefore had no idea whether her kits were being bought by people suffering from depression or by minors acting without the consent of an adult. 

Which is all very relevant to the tax charge, no?

Investigators determined that the kits were sold to at least 50 people in San Diego County since 2007 and that four of those people last year used the kits to commit suicide. None was terminally ill, according to investigators....

You can be in the suicide business. Just pay your taxes. This is the world we live in.
