Υπάρχουν όμως και φορολογικοί παράδεισοι in shore
Η έρευνα των Pandora Papers έχει ήδη αποκαλύψει ότι 35 αρχηγοί κρατών και κυβερνήσεων (οι 14 από τους οποίους βρίσκονται και σήμερα στην εξουσία) έχουν χρησιμοποιήσει off shores εδρεύουσες σε φορολογικούς παραδείσους ανά τον κόσμο, με σκοπό να ξεπλύνουν χρήμα και να αγοράσουν πολυτελή ακίνητα.
Nick Carr and How Links Hurt Reading
Nicholas Carr has a fascinating book excerpt in this month’s Wired looking at what the Internet does to how we think. He’s critical, as you can tell from his title: The Shallows. Carr points out—uncontroversially, I thought, when I first read it last week—the downside of embedded links.
Credit Cards, Credit Scores, and Citigroup
In case you didn’t know it—the banks still have you over a barrel. David Lazarus of the Los Angeles Times writes about how too-big-to-fail banks like Citigroup and Bank of America are slapping fees on credit card accounts in the wake of legislation that makes it harder for them to prey on customers. Since such a big part of their business was preying on customers, they’re trying to keep as much of it as they still can.
Papeles Paraíso: Hamilton evitó el pago de 3,8 millones en IVA por su jet con una sociedad en la Isla de Man
06/11/2017 19:00 - Actualizado: 08/11/2017 16:49 Cuando en 2013 el tetracampeón de Fórmula 1 Lewis Hamilton compró un avión privado del Bombardier Challenger 605, lacado en color granate brillante, en lugar de desembolsar el IVA por la adquisición, recibió íntegra la devolución del impuesto. Los abogados de Appleby, el despacho 'offshore' fundado en Bermudas, estaban allí para supervisar la compra y hacérsela más ligera al bolsillo del piloto.
Papeles Paraíso: El recaudador de la campaña de Trudeau movió millones a través de una offshore
05/11/2017 18:45 - Actualizado: 05/11/2017 22:39 Es probable que, sin Stephen Bronfman, Justin Trudeau jamás hubiese llegado a ser primer ministro de Canadá. El candidato del Partido Liberal tenía tirón entre el electorado y un enorme potencial político, pero carecía de un elemento fundamental: dinero en abundancia para su campaña.
To Sell Or Not to Sell
David Carr makes a point that’s so obvious but so anti-conventional wisdom that I think it bears a closer look: Newspapers (and magazines and other sources of reporting and editing) need to charge for their work. The online-ad model doesn’t work, won’t work for at least several years, and may not ever work well enough to support the level of reporting we have now (not to mention that of a decade ago).
ProPublica and Frontline with a Save on BP
That one almost slipped through the cracks. A month ago, the Galveston Daily News’s T.J. Aulds broke a big story on how BP’s Texas City refinery—you know, the one that blew up and killed fifteen people a few years ago—released hundreds of thousands of pounds of pollutants (including the carcinogen benzene) into the air in the weeks before the Gulf oil catastrophe.
What Took You So Long, Gannett?
Gannett, the biggest newspaper chain, has finally cut its dividend, and in a major way. It’s a long overdue move that follows the New York Times, McClatchy, and others who have done so this year. Why do these things happen in clusters? These CEO’s are like pack animals under attack, afraid to make a move until somebody else is forced to. This move will save Gannett $325 million a year, according to the AP, at a time when it really, really needs the cash.
Cut the Dividends!
Gannett had one helluva bad quarter, losing a tenth of its revenues from a year ago and more than a third of its profits. But something too often lost in all the gloom of the cataclysmic upheavals in the newspaper business is that they’re still profitable—highly profitable in most cases. And they’re throwing away big money every quarter in the form of rich dividends.
Iceland Prime Minister Tenders Resignation Following Panama Papers Revelations
The prime minister of Iceland said Tuesday he would resign following mass protests triggered by reports from ICIJ and partners that he had owned an offshore company in the British Virgin Islands with his wife, Icelandic state media reported. Prime Minister Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson said he would stay on as chairman of the Progressive Party but tapped Sigurdur Ingi Johansson, his minister of agriculture, to be the next prime minister, in a bid to save the ruling coalition.
Boone Pickens's Gift To Oklahoma State Sparks Local Rivalry
STILLWATER, Okla. -- Boone Pickens has seen legendary fights over oil and corporate takeovers. Now, a giant gift to help his alma mater build a huge sports complex -- and a winning football team -- has plunged him into a different kind of battle, with residents of a low-income neighborhood.
The New York Times Unloads on Tribune's Zell Hell
David Carr and The New York Times have a fascinating and sordid story about Sam Zell’s tenure as owner of Tribune Company. It’s an excellent piece of reporting—a picture of a corporate culture descended to approximately the level of third-grade boys.
Mo Pageviews, Mo Problems
The internet helped the media build bigger audiences than ever. Why aren’t those readers worth anything? By Ryan Chittum Illustration by Borja Bonaque If publishers knew a decade ago how many readers they would find online, they would have been thrilled. In 2006, the New York Times boasted that its website drew an average of 12 million unique visitors a month. Today, it has 78 million. Salon, which had a mere 3 million unique visitors back then, now has 17 million.
Diamond Dealers in Deep Trouble as Bank Documents Shine Light on Secret Ways
Belgium, center of the world diamond trade, charges HSBC’s Swiss Private Bank with fraud; many dealers under investigation around the world In the spring of 2005, Erez Daleyot, a Belgian-Israeli diamond tycoon with some dubious connections, paid a visit to his Swiss bankers at HSBC Private Bank, where he would soon have up to $38.5 million in accounts tied to shell companies in the British Virgin Islands. Business was good.
Newspaper Industry Ad Revenue at 1965 Levels
Archives: The Audit Inflation-adjusted numbers show papers are even worse off than you think By Ryan Chittum August 19, 2009 320 words Martin Peers had a smart Heard on the Street in yesterday’s Wall Street Journal on the critical question of how much of the recent plunge in media companies’ fortunes has been a cyclical decline versus a secular one.
The Grave Dancer
When the Tribune Company went private in December, Sam Zell completed a deal that many had said he couldn’t get done. Now comes the hard part—staying solvent. In an unusual two-phase deal, an Employee Stock Ownership Plan set up by Zell borrowed nearly $8 billion on Wall Street to buy all 240 million of Tribune’s outstanding shares, taking the company private and leaving the employee plan holding all of the stock.
A Good Bloomberg Profile of Elizabeth Warren
Bloomberg this morning posts a really good profile of Elizabeth Warren, who, despite much of the press’s dismissal of her earlier this year, has become one of the most influential people in Washington. Her Consumer Financial Protection Agency is very likely to become law soon, and it’s quite possible she could be picked to head it.

Swedish Business Head Leif Östling Resigns Amid Paradise Papers Link
CHAIRMAN RESIGNS The head of Sweden’s largest business lobby resigned Wednesday after comments he made amid Paradise Papers revelations about his offshore holdings. Leif Östling, chairman of the Confederation of Swedish Enterprise and the former head of the truckmaker Scania, and his wife owned a Maltese company called Hertsoe Ltd. that held about $3.6 million worth of stock via subsidiaries in Luxembourg, ICIJ partner SVT (Swedish public television) reported two weeks ago.
Statsminister Trudeau lover at alle kanadiere i Paradise Papers skal undersøkes, men unngår spørsmål om sin egen innsamlingssjef
Søndag kveld publiserte medier over hele verden avsløringen om at Justin Trudeaus innsamlingssjef har plassert penger i skatteparadis og hjulpet en annen tidligere partitopp med det samme.Da ønsket ikke statsministeren å kommentere saken. En talskvinne henviste til partiet, som heller ikke ville gi noen kommentarer om forholdene.

Canadians In Paradise Papers Will Be Investigated: Trudeau
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the Canada Revenue Agency would investigate Canadians names in the Paradise Papers. as he fended off questions about his relationship with his close ally and Liberal Party fundraiser Stephen Bronfman. The comments came a day after ICIJ and its partners, which included Canada’s CBC, published the year-long investigation. “We are fully committed to fighting tax evasion and tax avoidance,” said Trudeau, speaking in the House of Commons.
Offshore Gurus Help Rich Avoid Taxes on Jets and Yachts - ICIJ
See all of ICIJ's Russia coverage Formula One auto racing star Lewis Hamilton got a new luxury jet, a $27 million candy-apple-red Bombardier Challenger 605 with Armani curtains. He also got a refund on the value-added tax. And the lawyers at Appleby, an elite law firm founded in Bermuda, were there to help. They teamed with the London-based accounting giant Ernst & Young to craft an arcane plan to sidestep the VAT, a consumption tax charged in Europe on everything from socks to cars.
