De Globale Elite hebben meer dan'18 Trillion Dollars In Offshore Banks'ondergebracht.
Het feit dat Mitt Romney zijn zuurverdiende centjes geparkeerd heeft in de vriendelijke Kaaimaneilanden heeft wereldwijd de krantenkoppen gehaald.
Dit is echter 'peanuts'. Zo zou de Globale Elite minstens voor '18$ Trillion' ondergebracht hebben in 'veilige' en bijna taxfree banken.
UIt het IMF-rapport - IMF finds "trillions" in undeclared wealth
Citaat:
Although the IMF is concerned about the undeclared assets held in offshore centres from
a tax perspective, it is particularly concerned about how this money affects cross-border
financial interaction and contributes to shocks in the global economy such as the recent
credit crisis.
Milesi-Ferretti said: “The Cayman Islands were the largest foreign holder of private-label
US mortgage-backed securities on the eve of the financial crisis. More information on the
ultimate holders of these securities could clearly provide valuable insights on the
transmission of the ‘sub-prime shock’ and the financial crisis more generally.”
The IMF believes the sum of the external assets and liabilities of what it calls small
international financial centres – which includes all the offshore centres except
Switzerland – is $18 trillion.
The figure is higher than those of big investing countries such as France, Germany or
Japan and is a multiple of those of other large economies such as China.
Milesi-Ferretti said: “What is even more striking is that this number is likely to be an
underestimation given the data problems with offshore financial centres.”

According to shocking research done by the IMF, the global elite are holding a total of 18 trillion dollars in offshore banks. And that figure does not even count any money being held in Switzerland. That is a staggering amount of money. Keep in mind that U.S. GDP in 2010 was only 14.58 trillion dollars. So why do the global elite go to such trouble to hide their money in offshore banks? Well, there are two main reasons. One is privacy and the other is low taxation.
