IRS to Paypal: Give us your user account records
Paypal to IRS: OK

According to the IRS, PayPal's services have proved very attractive to tax evaders and the problem is growing. Customers can buy goods from eBay and many other shopping websites, pay for them from untaxed income held offshore and get the goods sent to their home address.

But the funny thing is that the taxes the IRS wants to collect would be legit taxes of overseas accounts.
