Modern art - (Above: Orange, Red, Yellow by Mark Rothko, sold for $86.9M in 2012) Ever wonder why rich people spend millions on modern art? Modern art can be used to lower tax liability by utilizing international tax-free zones, and leveraging charitable donation incentives. Because a piece of contemporary art does not have a fixed market price, its value can be easily manipulated on paper to maximize tax deductions or shield profits.
Wackenhut - In the late 1970s, former CIA agent named John Philip Nichols, no relation to Robert Booth Nichols, had assumed an executive role in the Cabazon Band of Mission Indians' reservation by promising to exploit tribal sovereignty law to generate new streams of income for its impoverished residents.
Because of federal law and the treaties the American government had signed with certain tribes, Native American reservations operated under the principle of tribal sovereignty. The reservations and tribal lands were legally recognized by the US government as essentially independent countries which could make their own laws and choose not to enforce some state and federal laws within their own borders. The joint venture between the tribe, CIA front WackenHut, and Robert Booth Nichols' company and Meridian Arms, (owned by Michael Riconosciuto and Robert Booth Nichols) was a gray market money-making operations being run from the reservation, the point of which was to test new weapons such as machine guns and night vision scopes for the Contras. They also developed rail-guns, enhanced gasious fuel devices, hydrodynamic implosion bombs, and bioligical anc chemical weapons which ended up getting sold to the Japanese. When complains aroze from the tibe not making any money from the venture, three people ended up dead, Fred Alvarez, the vice chairman of the Cabazon Tribal Council, his girlfriend, Patty Castro, and Ralph Arthur Boger, Alvarez's friend who was staying with him.
New Square - In 1990, Jacob Elbaum, David Goldstein, Kalmen Stern and Benjamin Berger set up fake Jewish schools in New Square NY, embezlling $11M in government grants. All of them were pardoned by Bill Clinton.
Soros - In 1992, George Soros shorted the British pound by using his Quantum Fund to borrow billions of pounds and rapidly sell them for stronger currencies like the German mark. This massive selling pressure overwhelmed the Bank of England, forcing the UK to drop out of the European Exchange Rate Mechanism and netting Soros a $1 billion profit.
Great Recession - Lewis Ranieri of Solomon Brothers invented the MBS, which is a bundle of people's debt owed on mortgages. A CDO is a broader bundle of peoples debt, including mortgages, corporate loans, and even other MBS. In the early 2000s, bankers would sell these to institutional, investors, knowing that the people people at the bottom couldnt pay these debts; individual mortgages were even pledged as colateral to multiple security bundles, which is illegal. To keep a lid on it, they bribed ratings agenties to look the other way. This became aparent in 2008 when investment bank Bear Stearns nearly went bankrupt and was forcibly sold. It was ok for the bwankers though, because they got away with it by claiming they were bad at their jobs, even though there are emails of them bragging about it. To fix the issue, not only did the bwankers and investment firms get bailed out by the federal reserve with tax payer money and newly created digital money, they got to seize the assets of the people who couldnt pay. 8 million Americans lost their jobs; nearly 4 million homes were seized; 2.5 million businesses were closed; more than half of all American families lost at least 25% of their accumulated wealth, while a quarter of families saw their wealth drop by 75% or more.
Congress had to debate for six months about a $30B loan to General Motors, which was critical to 10 million American jobs and 10,000 American companies, but a hundred times bigger bailout of the banks took just a few short days. And since that time, the Federal Reserve under Ben Bernanke, gave away trillions of the American taxpayers' money to predatory banks. Neil Borofsky of the Treasury Department, whose officials have been populated for years by Goldman Sachs graduates, revealed that the real bailouts for these criminal banks is not $7 trillion, but $23.7 trillion. Bloomberg Magazine: ''July 20, U.S. taxpayers may be on the hook for as much as $23.7 trillion to bolster the economy and bail out financial companies, said Neil Barofsky, Special Inspector General for the Treasury's Troubled Asset Relief Program.''
Howard Lutnick - US Commerce Secretary, Howard Lutnick's sons, Brandon and Kyle took control of Cantor Fitzgerald from their father in early 2025. Cantor Fitzgerald traders marketed the capacity to buy up hundreds of millions of dollars in potential tariff refund rights for cheap from companies hit by the administration's "Liberation Day" duties. If federal courts permanently struck down the tariffs, the government would owe the companies a full refund plus interest, allowing Cantor to collect the full $10 million payout.
Glencore - Transfer pricing is when corpotations pay virtually no profit taxes for an export, because they artificially shift its profits out of the coutnry in question to subsidiary in a country where the process of shifting is tax free. These coutnries are alled tax havens. (usually Switzerland) They sell the resource to their own subsidiary at a rate so cheap they make a net positive of 0, which the country they're exporting from can't tax them. The trick is that the Subsidiary which gets sold the resource belongs to the same company which just got to move it's resource out of the country tax free.
In Zambia, Glencore paid virtually no profit taxes for copper, because they shifted profits to their subsidiaries in switzerland at a rate so cheap they made a net positive of 0, which the country they're exporting from can't tax them.
Glencore was founded in 1974 by (((Mark Rich))), who also worked for the Israeli Mossad. He was involved in the bigest case of tax fraud in US history, where him and his partner, (((Pincus Green))) (Epstein list) were buying foreign oil from one company and sellign it at a loss to another, both owned by Mark Rich. They alundered nearly half-a-million dollars in months. Mark Rich was trading weapons for oil with Iran during the hostage crisis embargo, leading many to beleive he was justIsrael's Oliver North; he also made $2B sellign oil to South Africa. Rich bailed out Russian Oligarchs like Boris Berezovskiĭ after the Sibneft scandal. He gt caught but it didn't matter because as a reward for his donations to Hillary Clinton, through his wife, Denise Rich, Bill gave him a presidential pardon.
1MBD Scandal - Jho Low and his partner, former PM Najib Razak, stole $4.5B from 1Malaysia Development Berhad, the Malaysian Sovereign wealth fund. It was spread around through shell companies including Razak’s stepson. Jeffrey Epstein helped reduce penalties for the head of Edmond de Rothschild private bank, Ariane de Rothschild, who facilitated the flow of the stolen cash. Epstein pocketed $25M for himself for the deal.
Jho Low spent money to have Britney Spear pop out of his birthday cake. At one party Low had Brittney Spears, Psy, and Leonardo DiCaprio, Jamie Foxx, Paris Hilton, Kanye West, Kim Kardashian, Robert De Niro.
Goldman Sachs admitted it had paid $1B in bribes to win work raising money for the Malaysian state-owned wealth fund. In total they had to pay out $5B to regulators. “The settlement with the US charged the parent company with bribery violations, but authorities agreed to defer prosecution, allowing Goldman to avoid a criminal conviction.
Tim Leissner - Former Goldman Sachs partner, Tim Leissner, pleaded guilty in the US to conspiring to launder money and violating foreign bribery laws.
