@DUANEALLEN Madonna may have moved to "socialist Portugal" but did anyone ask her if she left her cash in a tax haven in the name of a shell company to avoid paying socialist taxes upon it?
Why do so many tax cheats want a more socialist economy? Provided their money isn't taxed
Madonna was exposed in the #ParadisePapers for going through #MossackFonseca & investing money in a Bermuda based shell company providing 'medical supplies'. Taxes for us but tax havens for Madonna.
Maybe she is in Portugal to avoid indictment...
But Madonna's not the only one, she shares that dubious distinction of being in favor of higher taxes while using illegal shell companies to avoid taxes with people like Harvey Weinstein and many others. theguardian.com/news/2017/nov/…
@NeonNettle needs to do a follow up story on Madonna in Portugal. She may be living there, but we need to know in what tax jurisdiction she lists as home to collect her royalties! Did she move her taxes to socialist Portugal? Or does she still collect royalties in a low tax area?

If you haven't figured out why the Cuellar indictment is a big deal. This case has opened up money laundering & corruption of US politicians for 2 major locations. The drug cartels of Mexico & the oil deals of the Former Soviet Republics.
They bought every Swamp creature in DC!
Multiple former speakers of the House, the Podest Group & other lobbyists.
Likely the Azeris will now be motivated to give up the #receipts on the people bought by the Armenians too!
The offers that Rep Cuellar accepted & was indicted for, those offers were extended all of Washington DC by the same people who bought Cuellar.
FBI & DOJ are conducting a criminal investigation of Swampy consulting firm McKinsey & Company for its consulting of opioid manufacturers that created the epidemic in the US!
Also looking at Obstruction of Justice charges!
#ButNothingsHappening businessinsider.com/mckinsey-under…
If you are not aware, McKinsey helped Purdue Pharma & other opioid manufacturers boost sales of their drugs. Causing the Opioid Epidemic that has cost hundreds of thousands of lives in the US.
One of their former clients included details of subpoenas they recieved for information on McKinsey in their SEC filings 3 years ago. SO this investigations has been running in stealth mode for more than 3 years.
They stopped doing this consulting in 2019 as it became a risk.
So if this meeting & publishing positive stories about Donald Trump was illegally rigging the 2016 election,
what about the 65 reporters who had similar meetings & arrangements with the Clinton Campaign in 2016?
This looks connected to so many Swamps! I’ll have to dig in tomorrow!
Former Soviet Republics & Israel connections.
Money laundering for cartels & offering Surface to Air missiles to undercover FBI agents.

Wait until they figure out that Microsoft's 3rd party vendor licensing programs are designed to hide bribery & give them plausible deniability whenever their vendors get caught.
Business, government, educational software licenses are rife with kickbacks.
#ButNothingsHappening
Essentially the scheme works by Microsoft giving a vendor permission to provide the software licenses at a discount. The vendor then charges the customer full price, & the discounted amount is then used to pay bribes to purchasing authorities.
