are shown as having done the same, and ostensibly "laundering tax
fraud" and hiding unpaid taxes in some bank vault deep under the Swiss
alps, implicitly having been part of that group of much hated "rich
people" that the same regime is doing all it can to expel to progressive places such as Russia and Belgium, one can't help but wonder, are some more equal than others?
