# IRS Criminal Investigation press releases (~7,500 cases)

Published by [MORVS](https://morvs.ai/) — source-linked public data for AI agents. Catalog: [morvs.ai/regulatory](https://morvs.ai/regulatory/) · Dataset page: [api.morvs.ai/datasets/irs-ci](https://api.morvs.ai/datasets/irs-ci)

Every IRS Criminal Investigation press release from August 2021 to present — tax fraud, money laundering, drug trafficking, PPP/COVID fraud, crypto fraud, identity theft, embezzlement, bank fraud, Ponzi schemes, child exploitation. Each record auto-categorized + $ amount extracted + state derived from title. Pairs with `doj_press_releases`, `doj_fca_settlements`, and `hhs_oig_enforcement` for the full federal financial-crimes prosecution panorama. **Pipeline crack**: irs.gov is Akamai-protected; cracked via tls_client Chrome 124 TLS impersonation. Walks ~56 month-year archive pages.
