You're not wrong, Chromed Accountant was the former IRS
"shadowrunner".

Has anyone ever expanded on the idea of IRS Covert Ops in their games?
It just seems like too much of a fun idea to pass up. I could even see
a runner team getting blackmailed into doing a run for the IRS lest
the IRS nab them on tax fraud charges on all that unreported income.

BTW: here's another one to add to the already long cast list for the
hypothetical Shadowrun movie. I think the Chromed Accountant should be
played by the actor who does Director Skinner on X-Files.
