Here's how the IRS works.

EV = (probability of him paying x)*x - (cost of getting him to pay x)

Cost of a letter stating the value of the ball and taxes he owes: $0.43 for the stamp + maybe $0.50/sheet for nice letterhead

P_pay: something more than zero

x: $200,000

The IRS makes +EV plays. He just has to make P_pay and x go down while forcing their cost up by hiring a decent tax lawyer.
