No Rock & Roll Fun points out that EMI financier Guy Hands, whose company, Terra Firma, is currently suing Citibank over alleged misleading information insisted that the lawsuit take “place in New York rather than the more appropriate London, because if he came to London,” it would ruin Hands tax avoidance scheme. Hands never visits the UK, where his family lives, for tax purposes.
