Some of it is that they are circumventing ridiculous taxes. However, a lot of people/companies implicated fund cartels and terrorists.




Yea I get that criminals will be involved in this too. That is obvious but I was just pointing out that it's ridiculous to say rich people are screwing other people over for trying to avoid paying huge tax bills.

I highly doubt these moves are made out of anger with the welfare state. When you have that much money, you don't worry about finances. But, money is power, and power is what the globalists care about.

It said athletes and actors are involved. They aren't globalists which makes it purely about tax evasion for them which means they are worried about finances.

This is not about the global rich as much as the global bureaucratic elite. There are plenty of ways for a billionaire to hide or protect money. Drug dealers, politicians, dictators, UN/FIFA officials, etc. are the types using these types of schemes to hide wealth they shouldn't have.

this is interesting, but I am not sure why it is so surprising or alarming to folks. It looks like simply using common sense to avoid paying taxes. hell, I use every legal tax loophole I can find.

Some of those rich people probably get tired of seeing their tax dollars go to support broken and abused welfare programs so they just figure they will do what they can to keep the money in their pockets. Can't blame them in that case.


This statement is idiotic.

These are the people who control the tax dollars including all the waste and fraud that goes along with that.

It's crazy some users here are siding with these people

YOU pay your fair share of taxes

THESE people are not

I'm not for "wealth redistribution"... But everyone pays their fair share

These people have so much money they have means of screwing the country out of what they owe. YOU do not.

It's not fair

And you should be mad.

They've drank the anti-tax kool aid, any tax is bad and not paying is acceptable. Oddly enough they still enjoy living in a modern society though.

This will be good, there's some stuff on Putin out as well.

It's amazing how if you are a loyal long-term friend of Vlad, you ended up an oligarch.

I wonder what the odds of that happening would be?

I guess it wasn't all too 'indecipherable'

Iceland's Prime Minister dropped a deuce right on camera when asked about the company. The last few sec of that video..look at his face and eyes. WOW.

Thanks for posting man,we all know there's so much corruption, but to be able to pull the curtain back and see this system exposed is really eye opening.
