it's little more than presupposing that your money _belongs_ to them, and any violation of these expectations is tantamount to crime.

From the article: "...$312bn of the total sum was the result of cross-border corporate tax abuse by multinational corporations and $171bn offshore tax evasion by wealthy individuals."
