True story indeed! Two Italian taxmen showed their gov badges (outside Italian jurisdiction and without any warrant or service order) to demand free entry to the conference (as if they don't get enough free stuff living off tax extortion). Luckily the organizers made them pay regular tickets. If you meet them around* and they ask you questions, remember not to talk about your boating trips in any detail). (* it may be illegal for me to post any picture of them, so I will not. I'll just post, as theoretical example, a completely fake and imaginary Grok-generated picture, without any connection to real people, which happens to comes from a prompt which is partially derived from the Grok-generated description of a real picture I've been sent.)
