Well here is one more for your collection!! I know how much you love and respect the UN.

Kofi Annan's son apparently made a million pound profit by purchasing a luxury flat on the King's Road, Chelsea, using an offshore company named in the Panama Papers. According to leaked Mossack Fonseca documents, Kojo Annan, 42, the former UN Secretary General's only son, used the Samoan company Sapphire Holding Ltd to buy the property in 2004 for £400,000. Market data show that it is now worth £1,559,293. This is the latest in a string of allegations about Mr Annan, including that he took advantage of his powerful father to win business contracts, and avoided tax while shipping a green Mercedes 4X4 to Ghana. He has denied any wrongdoing.

Britain's flashiest tourist, who is thought to be from Saudi Arabia, arrived in the capital this week with a fleet of gold cars worth more than £1million. Above, his gold £350,000 Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe and Lamborghini Aventador, also worth £350,000
 
You shriek ' TROLL ! ' every time you change your name and subject this forum to further racist dollop. That's just one reason why you'll never know.

This excellent blog describes why the Panama Papers material should have been handed to an organisation such as Wikileaks- and not to press associations with spurious links to government and the wealthy. We are being sold out, it would seem, and the worst culprits have been given time to cover their asses.

Cammers is in deep:


Downing Street has been forced to further clarify David Cameron's financial affairs after questions about his family's tax arrangements.

No 10 said there were "no offshore trusts or funds" that the prime minister or his immediate family would benefit from "in future".


Stay on topic, or this thread will be moved to the war zone, where you will find all threads that devolve to back and forth insults.

They were , probably, tipped off a year ago by some drone journo. According to Butterfly/Turnstile/Moonflour/Whatever they banned ' bearer shares ' at that time.

The UK government’s pledge to crack down on off-shore tax schemes and money laundering has been laid bare after the majority of firms implicated in a huge leak were shown to be registered in British-administered tax havens.

Dubbed the Panama Papers, the unprecedented release maps how a global elite of one-percenters has hidden assets, dodged sanctions and evaded taxes over the last 40 years.

More than half of the 300,000 firms, believed to have used a single, secretive Panama-based law firm, are registered in British-administered tax havens. Second only to Hong Kong, 1,900 British firms, including banks, law firms, and company incorporators, feature as “intermediaries” between Mossack Fonesca and its clients.

In another startling revelation, the leak shows how the £26 million stolen in the notorious 1983 gold bullion heist at the Brink’s-MAT depot near Heathrow may have been channeled through an offshore company set up by Mossack Fonesca.

The leak of more than 11 million confidential documents held by Mossack Fonesca has been under investigation by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) for over a year.

The investigation has revealed that six members of the House of Lords, three former Conservative MPs, dozens of donors to UK political parties, as well as David Cameron’s late father are among the hundreds of British individuals who hold off-shore assets.

Of the British officials implicated in the leak, only three have so far been named: Baroness and life peer Pamela Sharples, Conservative Party donor and billionaire Michael Ashcroft, and former Tory MP for East Hampshire Michael Mates.

You wouldn't believe it- but it's true. The Brit leader claims that his own tax affairs are............" Private ".




He's not alone, of course. His world press buddies - whose owners are, no doubt, also implicated- began yesterday by trying to dump all of their own immorality on Vladimir Putin. When that failed they switched to the Chinese. Up until they moved it off the front page there wasn't a peep about Israel;

How is the US implicated ? Is the self-styled arbiter of world morality clean in this ? Is Trump buried up to his neck ? Clinton ? Any millionaire Congressmen and Senators ? Forget false patriotism- who are the crooks ? Every citizen of every country should scrutinize their government . ALL OF US.

I seriously doubt you'll find any major American figure involved. It's far to easy to create a shell company in the U.S. So there is little need to go off shore to do so.

Why does Cameron bother you so much? Will Snowden be exposing Putin's kleptocracy any time soon? How many ten of billions have Putin and Xi Jinping's cronies and families squirrelled away. What about Ghaddafi's family, they considered Libya to be their own private bank.

What about the US? Shell companies are so easy to set up here that the services of a firm like Mossack Fonsecka are only needed by Americans for finances earned abroad. There's little need for their services in the US thus they have few US clients.

Maybe we need to start examining the scope and legality of how these shell companies are used domestically to hide wealth and avoid taxes. I suspect at least one party would be virulently opposed to such an investigation.

Bermuda, the Cayman Islands and the British Virgin Islands are three of the biggest tax havens for U.S. companies, according to a report last year from Citizens for Tax Justice and the U.S. Public Interest Research Group.

According to the report, U.S.-controlled companies in these locations reported $155 billion in profits in 2010, the most recent available data.

Bermuda stood out -- booking about $94 billion in profits.

The U.S. is working to implement a new law called the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act.

Under FATCA, the U.S. Treasury has struck agreements with more than 100 countries that require those countries' banks to report back to the IRS on any accounts held by U.S. taxpayers.

If the IRS finds that you willfully failed to disclose overseas accounts, you could owe a penalty of 50% of your total balance or $100,000, whichever is greater, for every year you failed to file.

Isn't that pretty much why Delaware exists?
