Dear Steve,
Our Paradise Papers coverage continues today. Our reporter Simon Bowers reveals how an online gaming company used the offshore world to cater to U.S. players.
We also have updates from the European Parliament last week and the calls for more tax havens to be added to the EU’s “Blacklist.”
We’re also really excited to launch our project Alma Mater! We are looking for investigative and education reporters to help us uncover what a range of universities – from the U.S., U.K., and Canada – are doing in the offshore world. Does that sound like you or someone you know?
Until next week!
