Of this amount, $1,208,376 was for charges of more than $400 in single transactions for Visa gift cards, reloadable debit cards, and money orders. Accordingly, over 99% of the charges on the 1005 Card during 2013 were for Visa gift cards, reloadable debit cards, and money orders. Petitioners made $10,702 in purchases during 2013 that were not for Visa gift cards, reloadable debit cards, or money orders. In 2014 petitioners made charges totaling [*9] $5,184,033 on their American Express cards for Visa gift cards, reloadable debit cards, and money orders."

and later:

In 2013 and 2014 petitioners deposited a combined $4,028,743 in money orders into their bank accounts.
