Skyler was actually a major federal criminal far before getting involved with Walt’s activities.

She:

1. Commit conspiracy to commit wire fraud and tax fraud

2. Committed conspiracy to commit obstruction of justice

3. Committed obstruction of justice

4. Made false statements to federal agents

The woman signed of on fraudulent tax filings that she knew were fraudulent and this was in S3E2. She was risking her family and risking going to federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison for 10+ years. Keep in mind that this is post SOX/Enron too.

She didn’t even have to report Ted either. She could have just quit and called it a day. But no, not Skyler. She helped Ted cover up his fraud, stayed on the job, and even helped him to cook the books in a more subtle fashion. At least Walt had the good sense to steer clear of the IRS, but not Skyler. She takes it upon herself to actively engage in an ongoing multimillion dollar conspiracy to commit tax fraud.

So before we even begin, this woman is a major federal felon. She risked prison time and tearing apart her family basically for nothing. She made no money out of it, then screwed her criminal co-conspirator, and gave him all of Walt’s money to cover up her own inexplicable crime spree. She’s easily seeing well over 10 years just for the crimes she has committed before Walt even enters the picture. It is such poor judgment. But I guess she was looking out for her family when she committed a series of federal crimes out of the goodness of her heart for someone she just coincidentally was fucking.
