"A terrific example of thrilling narrative nonfiction." - Kirkus Reviews How could one of the world's richest men hide billions from the IRS for decades? The answer involves secret servers, coded aliases, and elaborate offshore "trust turduckens."Based on exclusive interviews with federal investigators, the story unfolds like a spy thriller: undercover stings, a lawyer's suicide, a brazen dementia defense, and a mysterious death that froze billions offshore.
At the heart is a paranoid billionaire who appeared to own nothing on paper, and the relentless agents who spent years unmasking his alleged offshore empire.
The stakes are enormous. Tax evasion burdens honest taxpayers with an extra $447 billion annually, while the ultra-wealthy hide over $1 trillion offshore. This book reveals how the system is gamed and how it could be fixed.
"What might sound like dry financial history unfolds, in Heycke's hands, as striking investigative drama." - BookLife Reviews (Publishers Weekly)
