Felix v. Commissioner

Raum, J.,

dissenting: It is inconceivable to me that Congress ever intended to permit deductions of the type approved herein, notwithstanding the elaborate effort to cast them in the form of business expenses, a mere device without economic reality or substance regardless of whether the transactions may or may not properly be described as “bona fide.”

Turner, Opper, and Rice, JJ., agree with this dissent.
