Allegations of tax evasion

"Ms. Pritzker’s family is renowned for finding ways to avoid paying taxes on its wealth. The Pritzkers were pioneers in using tax loopholes to shelter their holdings from the Internal Revenue Service, and many of their dealings have never been made public." <ref>Obama Fund-Raiser Knocks Down Cabinet Rumors</ref>
