How is an IRS agent a regulator? IRS are just enforcers of regulation.

I interpreted 'regulator' as IRS agent because the discussion is on Netflix tax bill and you talked about some corrupt agents ... but OK, an IRS agent isn't really a regulator ... kind of. The executive branch bureaucracy is tasked with enforcing existing laws (which includes regulating specific domains). Regardless, my actual point stands and you haven't answered that. More specifically 1) what is it that you're actually talking about and 2) do you actually evidence of any impropriety with respect to Netflix' tax bill? Because you are so sure about all those corrupt agents who lined their pockets in order to give Netflix a lighter tax burden.
