Crazy story, I enjoyed reading it even though the "poor" guy ended up killing himself. What's line 8 though ? I don't know what this means...

He's still alive! Going seeing the country talking about what to look for when you suspect somebody is embezzling.

Line 8 is a line in American income taxes, it's used for "all other" forms of income, otherwise not reported. So if you stole 100,000 dollars, even though you obtained it illegally, you're expected to report it, or give committed another crime.

Generally that line is used for more niche sources of income. There are planet of legitimate reasons to use it.
