Most-quoted passages

The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 29 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “at all times remained the 'moving force.' " The Second Circuit affirmed that the record established a " 'scheme of shifting wages' whereby plaintiff indirectly received 'remuneration which is, in effect, wages to him.' "); Newman v. Celebrezze, 310 F.2d 780 , 781 (2d Cir.1962) (per curiam) ("While we recognize that plaintiff had the right to choose to retire and receive his old-age benefits irrespective of any dividend or other non-wage payments he might receive, the record supports the inference that the payments nominally made to his son constituted a mere device to mask services actually rendered and compensation received by plaintiff.”

2. ““The testimony of plaintiff and his witnesses explaining his presence in the office as being only for social purposes and denying any services or compensations, was found by the Examiner to be ‘not convincing.’ Whether or not, upon initial consideration, we would have held that plaintiff’s evidence was sufficient to overcome the statutory presumption standing alone, we cannot say that the Examiner’s determination as to credibility and the inferences drawn by him from the facts were without substantial support on the whole record.” 310 F.2d at 781 .”
