    The current market/economy is unnecessarily tougher for boomers/senior citizens, I’m used to just buying and holding assets which doesn’t seem applicable to the current rollercoaster market plus inflation is catching up with my portfolio. I’m really worried about survival after retirement.

    In the old days, you could leave money in your mattress. Then you needed to leave it in the bank so inflation didn't eat it up. Now the bank interest doesn't keep up with inflation. So the minimum we need is shares or property and more and more risk just to not beat inflation. We have to adapt to survive, but really we need to fix the system, but I don't know how. My suggestion is a democratic crypto with all financial rules pre-programmed and voted on by all. Instead of inflation and tax, negative interest and transaction fees, then you can see inflation eating your money before your eyes. Before the government borrows, you can calculate exactly how much more negative interest you'd get.

    What makes this guy different though to the institutions is that he consciously and deliberately set out to commit tax fraud, his personal company and fund was setup exclusively to do that. That's not say what he did is any less criminal or serious than what the big banks and financial institutions did, he just did it more openly and aggressively. So he needs to be brought to justice and made an example of to deter others from doing it. As far as law enforcement and the financial regulators go, he is also a soft easier target to go after compared to the big financial institutions which are more opaque and more difficult to bring to justice with their vast legal resources, they can drag legal cases out for years or just settle out of court with fixed fines.. this guy however is likely to be looking at jail time and losing everything the authorities can seize. When you commit tax fraud like he has, the States defrauded will seize all your assets and the penalty is nearly always prison time.

He came by again 6 months later with another car, saying the Ferrari was too much of a headache to maintain. 😆

    He is right though ...he's being scapegoated because he's seen as insignificant ....if we had to really dig into this, how much money do you think the bigger banks such as Goldman sachs, Deutsche Bank, UBS and others have made off of this strategy. The only reason prosecutors won't mention them in being complicit in such activities is because they have too much influence and power to be targeted. So they target a smaller fish instead.

    I don't think it's that simple and I don't think the regulators and tax authorities had any idea how this scam worked and they certainly weren't complicit or involved in it. It's quite a complex tax fraud scam which relies on exploitation of a tax system loop-hole in the financial services industry. I'm just surprised the tax authorities didn't realise it was wide open to being exploited and so look more closely at those repeated applications to delay tax on transactions from certain companies and financial institutions to determine their legitimacy.

    The issue is not the institutions, it’s that our world is so complex that no single human knows what is going on in the big picture involving every little step so when you discover a loop hole involving multiple systems, chances are, you can get away with it for quite a while.

    Exactly. The financial regulator in the UK is extremely layed back when it come to enforcing the law and weeding out crimimals and fraudsters from the financial markets. I know this from first hand experience being involved in a multi-million pound fraud case in UK which eventually meant I had to bring in the serious crime unit of the Met and Trading Standard's Markets Division in London because the FCA the market regulator were absolutely useless. They stood by and did nothing even when I gave them all the evidence they needed to prosecute two Russian individuals and revoke their company's UK e-money license. The FCA is a toothless organisation which only reacts after the fact. It doesn't regulate or enforce its own rules and the law, let alone any market oversight or monitoring of companies with high levels of customer complaints. After £2.8 million disappeared from clients who were coming to me for legal assistance, and we were looking at potentially up to £57 million of unhedged liabilities/fraud by this one crypto company, the FCA still allowed them to retain their license and continue operating in the UK...although severely restricted, unable to take on new customers or do any trading in the UK markets, so clearly they knew what was going on. The FCA will do anything to avoid public scandals or negative press concerning London's financial markets, for fear of panic and undermining confidence in the markets. Even if it means allowing more people to fall victim to scammer companies and criminals to get away with white collar crime, if it protects London's financal markets reputation.
