OK. Put down your names for who you think will be in the leaks (not ones already confirmed). 10 points per correct name. -1 per unconfirmed name. Just the Western World. Africa etc. is just too obvious
I'll start:
Blair
Clinton
Bush
Osborne

Prince Charles
Richard Branson
Robbie Williams
But does it matter? If the money in the account is declared to the tax authorities, it's "clean".

This game should only be limited to politicians anyhow, I don't care if private individuals try to hide their tax.

I live in Malta, as a non Dom I don't have to pay any tax on world wide income, just income remitted to Malta.
The U.K. Is a tax haven for non Doms, really no need to evade taxes just choose where you live. Monaco has no tax at all

I wish that I had the kind of money volume that needs hiding from the tax.

- Christoph Blocher
- Jarosław Kaczyński
- Viktor Orbán
- Nicolas Sarkozy

| | Re: Panama Papers Guessing Game | Quote: | |  | | | The Swiss will just use a numbered account in CH, why be complicated? | | | | | A numbered account lets you hide cash. What this scandal is about is letter box companies. They can be used to hide cash but are much more useful for hiding ownership in other companies. That's something a politically exposed person like Blocher would want if his political decisions would be a conflict of interest with his assets...
