There's obviously no hard-and-fast rule about 5 years. Other people value companies differently from you and have greater risk appetite. It's pretty normal for people to have different views on such things (like the morality of various tax arrangements!); that's not evidence of corruption.
> A little bit of conspiracy speculation now: Hidden in tax heavens and needed to be brought to light ;)
That's not where it came from, that's where it currently is (according to you). Even so, a tax heaven is not the same as money that needs laundering.

It's pretty normal for people to have different views on such things (like the morality of various tax arrangements!); that's not evidence of corruption. Agreed. There's no hard rule on that. I just find it hard to believe someone would be up to investing a big chunk of money, for that much amount of time, without having any return. But yes, people choose on what to believe. I prefer to take it this way as I'm past Wonderland a while ago. Let's hope I'm wrong. > That's not where it came from, that's where it currently is (according to you). Even so, a tax heaven is not the same as money that needs laundering. I think it can be both actually. And it may need laundering in case there's no justification on where it's coming from. But again, this is all just conspiracy as Panama papers never happened.
