You are absolutely right to point out that I said much the same thing about ten years ago.
Unfortunately, when you work on the issue of tax havens, you quickly feel like you are repeating yourself like a broken record. Since 2000, i.e., for 25 years, there have been many public reports, studies, surveys and compelling evidence on the issue of tax havens and yet from the point of view of governments, we are pretty much at the same point. There is a cognitive barrier among government officials who always pretend to be fighting abuse and fraud, when in fact much of tax avoidance is not legal, but legalized.
