I'm saying he owed us in both the legal and moral sense. I do not know whether (or if so, when) Eduardo has paid taxes on his Facebook shares, so I cannot opine on whether he still owes us under the laws currently in effect.
Morally...I think he's a freeloading bastard, and I look forward to the day he goes to jail in Singapore for violating one of their numerous and extremely punitive criminal laws. But I do not think he has a moral obligation to pay additional taxes if he has satisfied his legal obligations.
- pan69 14y agoAs far as I understand the stories, under the current law he's legally in the clear. Morally, the United States is full of free loading bastards who know every single loophole in the tax laws. Why single out this one guy? Because it's much easier to focus on a single individual and crucify him? He's hasn't done anything different then what other "free loading bastards" have been doing for years. This is guy is not a born US citizen in the first place and he's been living in Singapore since 2009.
- joelrunyon 14y agoWhy are you so intent on something bad happening to him? In the large scale of things - he got screwed when it came to Facebook. Sure you might not like the guy, but when you're hoping bad things happen to him just because he's about to make a lot of money makes it look like you're awfully jealous of the guy.
- urbanjunkie 14y agoWhy would he be going to prison in Singapore? Is he known for breaking laws? It's also amusing that you denigrate Singapore for their "numerous and extremely punitive criminal laws" when the incarceration rate in Singapore is roughly a third of that in the US.
