URGENT Dear Ms., dear Mr. According to a Swiss bank report, the globe’s most wealthiest 1% own half the world’s wealth The report also comes with a warning that this generation is unlikely to attain their parents’ levels of wealth. The world’s wealthiest have seen their share of the globe’s total wealth go up from 42.5 percent in 2008 to 50.1 percent in 2017. “According to our latest estimates, the top one percent own 50.1 percent of all household wealth in the world.” “Global wealth inequality has certainly been high and rising in the post-crisis period,” the report continued.

This notice comes weeks after federal investigators asked a judge in California to force Facebook to open up its financial and business records for 2010—the year that the social networking giant established a subsidiary in Ireland largely for tax reasons.

The Luxembourg tax haven, Cayman Islands cash storage and many well known tricks of extracting money from the economy.

In a Thursday filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the company wrote: On July 27, 2016, we received a Statutory Notice of Deficiency (Notice) from the IRS relating to transfer pricing with our foreign subsidiaries in conjunction with the examination of the 2010 tax year. While the Notice applies only to the 2010 tax year, the IRS states that it will also apply its position for tax years subsequent to 2010, which, if the IRS prevails in its position, could result in an additional federal tax liability of an estimated aggregate amount of approximately $3.0 – $5.0 billion, plus interest and any penalties asserted. Is Mark Zuckerberg and associates personally investigated? Because companies scam the IRS for the bank accounts of the few.
