...they no longer possess billions in wealth. The other response to you got it right... you're not scoring 700M unless you have some tax bill on a 3B income to pay.
My whole point is that people keep saying "tax evasion" when what they really mean is "paying your taxes is the right thing to do for society", which are not the same thing. "Tax evasion" would be contriving some scheme to sell this company for profit and not paying the bill while keeping the profit. What happened here is a whole order of magnitude less offensive than that. (Not I think it should be possible, but then, taxing transfers of wealth doesn't make a lot of sense from first principles anyway...)
