I heard about an individual who received an inheritance in a foreign bank account. They didn't know they had to report it on the fbar. By the time the IRS caught up with them, the penalties had accumulated to an exorbitant amount. They had to hire expensive lawyers to try and negotiate a reduced penalty, but it was still a very difficult and costly process for them.
