Well I certainly wish a forum member the best in his endeavors. I certainly wasn't suggesting a person declare bankruptcy on multiple debts repeatedly. Let's not forget the IRS and the police are separate institutions. It's the police job to catch the perpetrator and not the IRS. If the police don't prove your case for you by catching the thief, you are going to have to put a lot of footwork in yourself! My recommendation to declare bankruptcy seems stupid unless you are assuming that the perpetrator is going to be caught. I was assuming that he most likely will not be caught...
Most people who steal id's are foreign and avoid prosecution for years...
