- cblconfederate 6y agoTrue, however right now US people can't travel to cyprus due to restrictions. Plus i m not sure why he would want to travel to europe since everything is locked down atm Plus he probably has a private jet
- ashtonkem 6y agoPeople escaping lock downs in jets and boats are annoying, but at least understandable. Given the opportunity to escape to somewhere physically safer, I’d probably do the same thing. Expatriating your massive wealth to avoid paying taxes makes it feel like they’re performing a smash and grab job on the whole country. Doubly so because the people doing this would still be fantastically wealthy if they stayed and paid their taxes; they’re just doing it to be even richer still.
- kjksf 6y agoThe same way me eating a chicken liver is different from Hannibal Lecter eating your liver. Yes, we're both eating a liver but we're not the same kind of person. Oligarchs travel, just like you and me. That's not what makes them oligarchs. And where exactly do they travel that is not accessible to you and me? I'm pretty sure that when governments ban air travel, they also ban private jet travel.
