I posted link below as reply to another comment. They were evading taxes and was charged in Italy and France and even on Ireland. And no, it was not technically legal because many European countries do not distinguish between avoidance and

The same problem you're referring to is also true for news regarding China. Have you ever thought about it? I've traveled for an extended time in both US and China and as you say you hardly get shot on a trip in California you als
