High Society, low morales...

The tax evasion Club

Amended return without consequences? It seems that wealthy criminals in Hamburg can get away with almost anything without losing their incognito. 500 anonymous tax evaders in Hamburg? Well, sometimes the right people in the right places can make a difference. At the moment we´re working on the connections regarding an astounding list of respectable citizens and the banks that supported them. Culprits who in our eyes, have at least revoked the right to remain in anonymity, although our numbers differ somewhat from the official disclosures of Hamburgs financial authorities, but these guys always seem to have trouble with a few million Euros more or less....this summer promises some interesting new views on transparency.

Over 20000 millionaires

2008 there were 637 people with an income larger than a million in the city of Hamburg! The number of millionaires can only be estimated since the last official count was made in 1997. The approximate amount of millionaires is roughly estimated at 20000! The 20 richest people in the city own a fortune of over 40 billion Euro! (Manager-Magazin Fall 2009) At the same time every 4th child survives by unemployment benefits, unemployment rates are soaring and loan dumping is on the rise!

New CDs from Luxemburg or Switzerland

Seem to be the only way to fight antisocial behaviour in Germanys (high) society (88 “Swiss” with 63 Mio., update 136 with 80 Mio., update 165, update 218 with a 114 Mio. update 304 tax evaders March the 23rd, over 400 according to Ole von Beust on April 29th 2010! This mayor knows his voters, probably by name now! Over 20000 honorable citizens in Germany have up to now made self accusations to get away with tax evasion!). Germanys high court has now confirmed that this only counts if all tax evasions are laid out, not just those that are evident! This can can only be the start…seeing how financial authorities have really done a good job of letting Klaus Zumwinkel get away with tax evasion (and 20 mn retirement) by just a few Euros!

Tax evasion drive-ins in Liechtenstein?

The prince, the thief, the records...
Heinrich Kieber, acknowledged thief of LGT Treuhand AG bank records puts his book online.
Concealed subterranean garage vaults and 8655 accounts, 46 exposed political persons and the big question why no one except Klaus Zumwinkel has been exposed.
German authorities have confirmed that they paid an informant between four and five million Euros for data of account holders in the LGT (Liechtenstein Global Trust) banking group. The banking group is said to be largely or partly owned by the ruling family in Liechtenstein.

Who´s the guy next to Peiner?

The Godfather of Hamburg?

From the very beginning as an accountant for OTTO family trust Cura to the selling of half the city with HSH money to Stuhlmann, Olearius and Co, the fall of Berlins Landesbank, the saving of the HSH, Hapag, Beiersdorf, Warburgs Quantum success, HSH/HGV/Maxingvest/Germanischer Lloyd supervision, Susat accounting of the HGV, sale of Hospitals to Broermann, Peter Tamms 30 million Euro and a historic storehouse taxmoney present, the juggling of the City of Hamburg finances and buildings, Merkels CDU finances, convincing her of the importance of German REITs, the ordering of a Freshfields expertise deliberately ignoring the involvement of the HSHs supervisory board, etc.... almost every deal of Hamburgs high society has one common denominator, Wolfgang Peiner!
