Recently deceased father bought a home in 1995 for $195K as his primary residence. In 2011, he added his daughter onto the title as Joint Tenant (she did not occupy the home). He died in 9/2012. The house is now selling for $265K. Is the daughter or the Trust liable for taxes on the gain from the time of purchase or the value of the home at the time of death or nothing?

I joined a website and used my partner's name instead of mine in an ad, leading to being banned for life. I then used other people's identities to open accounts, which the website discovered. They are now threatening to bring criminal prosecution under 18 USC § 1030. I did not commit fraud, gain any financial benefit, or access any data. Do you think a federal prosecutor would agree to prosecute me, and is there another law they could use?
