Tali Farhadian Weinstein paid virtually no tax on millions and millions
And she wants to be the Manhattan DA and go after Trump’s tax-dodging.
If you’re still scraping your jaw off the floor after Propublica’s monster story on tax-dodging among the ultra-wealthy, then buckle up, because they’re not anywhere close to reporting out that leaked data.

Today’s story from The Secret IRS Files is about Tali Farhadian Weinstein, the ultrawealthy frontrunner candidate for the Democratic primary for DA of Manhattan.
Farhadian Weinstein and her husband — hedge fund manager Boaz Weinstein — earn stupendous amounts of money ($107m in 2011!) and pay virtually no tax.
“In 2017… she and her husband paid no federal income tax. In 2015 and 2013, they also paid no federal income tax. In 2014, she and her husband paid $6,584.”
Farhadian Weinstein is the frontrunner in the primary in part because she’s got millions and millions of dollars to spend on her campaign — most recently, she donated $8.2m to that campaign.
