No.
Ever hear the phrase “getting away with murder”? You do not have to be found guilty of murder for the act that you committed to be murder.

Incorrect. The word "murder" has specific legal definitions. Common colloquialisms literally don't matter. You are not guilty of murder until convicted of a murder charge by a jury of your peers or until you plead guilty in a court of law. You can commit homicide and not be found guilty of murder EVEN IF you killed the person maliciously. Hence "getting away with murder."
If you plan to kill someone and you kill them, it’s murder
No, that's homicide. Murder, the legal term, doesn't happen until later.
Just like you can commit tax evasion but not be found guilty of tax evasion. Hence the topic.
If you move or hide money with the intention of avoiding taxes, it’s tax fraud, whether or not you ever get caught, charged, or convicted
This is a red herring on your part and literally doesn't matter for the topic at hand nor have you contradicted me. You've just restated my point back to me but pretended to be a contrarian.

Show me the legal definition of murder that says it’s not murder unless someone is found guilty. If your sister gets murdered and they never catch the killer, your sister was still murdered. This is stupid.

One of your first sentences in this comment chain is literally “this is NOT tax fraud.” That’s wrong. You are wrong. It may be difficult to catch you, but a crime being easy to get away with does not mean you’re not committing a crime
this is NOT tax fraud.” That’s wrong.
Wrong. It's not tax fraud if you have a bonified, "good faith", contract, that meets the standards as outlined in that legal article I listed. It does not matter that you and your pall know you fully intend to commit tax fraud (just don't put that in writing). And it is ALSO not tax fraud UNTIL you are convicted of tax fraud. It is NOT a crime until you convicted for the crime. They must prove you committed a crime AND you get convicted before it is a crime. This is the basics of basics of basics of criminal law in any modern country. Before then, you are only charged with crime.
Provide your source that says you are legally guilty of a crime before being found guilty of a crime.
