My dad owns a Real Estate business and evades taxes (among other things)

I am simultaneously trying to be as vague and in detail as possible, hence being a new account, but my dad has owned a Real Estate business for years that’s become one of the most successful in my state. He bought a motor home solely via tax evasion. He managed to pull that off by writing it off as a “home office”. He thinks I’m stupid and that I can’t see that most of what he does is illegal or highly unethical. I told him months ago that I was interested in possibly working for him, to which he set up a “meeting” with me as he called it (ie dinner with his daughter to discuss career plans lol). At the end of the dinner he told me “well, we talked about Real Estate so I guess I can write this off, haha”. After that encounter in itself I no…

At the end of the dinner he told me “well, we talked about Real Estate so I guess I can write this off, haha”. After that encounter in itself I no longer wanted to work for him in any way. Also, my sister has a degree (but not in anything to do with Real Estate) and works for him, but he only pays her $10 an hour even though he’s raking in money. He also does not take out taxes from that pay, meaning at the end of the year she owes hundreds or maybe thousands of dollars so it roughly comes out to be about $7.50 an hour. She does seem very complacent with this for some reason though. Anyways because of how much he writes off in taxes, he applied to Medicaid years ago and actually qualified for it (because he “technically” doesn’t make almost any money on paper). I don’t want to be on his bad side however it’s hard to overlook all of this among plenty of abuse growing up and just a bad relationship with him in general my whole life. He doesn’t specifically open up about any of this to me or his financial situation but I know he’s extremely wealthy, I just figured most of this out by paying close attention lol. I am looking for any kind of advice with either how to handle this, or maybe just how to ignore it. Thank you in advance, I thought this might be a good place to post this lol.
