Facebook’s Eduardo Saverin Likely BARRED FROM RE-ENTERING U.S


“...He’s ****ed,” said an immigration lawyer based in Los Angeles. “He must have gotten horrendous advice....”




" Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin’s decision to renounce his U.S. citizenship just in time to avoid a large tax payment essentially means he will not be able to re-enter the United States again, immigration experts tell TPM.



“There’s a specific provision of immigration law that says that a former citizen who officially renounces citizenship, and is determined to have renounced it for the purpose of avoiding taxation, is excludable,” said Crystal Williams, executive director of the American Immigration Lawyers Association. “So he would not be able to return to the United States if he’s found to have renounced for tax purposes.” The provision of law isn’t usually enforced, added Williams, “however, this guy is so high profile that this is probably going to be the test case.”



Saverin’s only path back to living in the U.S., experts contend, would involve persuading the authorities that his decision was not about avoiding taxes — an argument the 30-year-old billionaire is apparently angling to make. “This had nothing to do with taxes,” Saverin told the New York Times. “I was born in Brazil, I was an American citizen for about 10 years. I thought of myself as a global citizen.”



Two immigration lawyers said his explanation hardly passes the laugh test. Saverin’s move was timed to the initial public offering of shares of Facebook stock. The valuation of the Facebook IPO explodes Saverin stake in the social media company to some $3 billion, on which avoiding taxes could save him at least tens — if not hundreds — of millions of dollars. Nor does it help his case that he relocated to Singapore, which levies no taxes on those earnings.



Democratic senators mobilized Thursday to crack down on Saverin and other tax dodgers.

As I read this thread I was vaguely reminded of, oh, a SHITload of DUmp posts during the Bush years about their self-applied citizenship statuses...


But first:

25. "global citizen."

14. I'm a citizen of the world. As such I have been insulted.
   
The UN is the closest thing to a body that represents all who live on this planet.

Bush has shown his disrespect for humanity. I don't think I'm the only one who feels like this.

41. I'm a citizen of the world, and a globalist.
   
Just like you will be someday.

And then there's RandySF, who hates public schools, but is also a "citizen of the world."

But those are not prominent DUmmies, you say? OK, how about this one?

1. I think your new found nationalism

is dangerous, since that is about the only thing you post about.

The Prince of Wales holds the title of the Earl of Renfrewshire
which we lost and got kicked out of Scotland when that war was lost.... I'm very much part part of the old royalty of Scotland

I find these post tiresome in the sense.......I am now a citizen of the world..... I hate nationalism.

Do you even live in Scotland?

And one more for good measure:

2. I've considered myself a Citizen of the World for ages
   
Actually that first, and an American Citizen second. I would love to see that happen.

Sorry, Mr. Saverin. They were with you until you ****ed with Lord Zero's money. When it comes to welfare money, you are an American now, and you will be one until they ******* GET THEIR FREE SHIT FROM YOU.

No one's picked up on this, have they?  (I won't row over to look.)

So, that makes Facebook Republican?

     Funny how all these "citizens of the world" always seem to live in California or someplace else nice. A real "citizen of the world" would be planning to spend a lot of time in shitholes like N. Korea, Bahrain, Mauritius, Sri Lanka, Somalia, and so on.

     Ah, liberal shitheads.

And getting their welfare checks from Zimbabwe, their food stamps from Nepal, their energy assistance from Paraguay, their social security from Ukraine.

Saverin is an asshole....with his new found wealth, just think of how many DUmmies he could have taken with him to China...the great socialist paradice.

[ADsOutburst]

DUmmies are "world citizens," except when it comes to talking about the atrocities of communists, the "homophobia" of Iran, the greenhouse gas emissions of other countries...

Interestingly, they hold a humanitarian position but also an insistence on not judging other cultures.

     He could have spread that wealth far and wide in Venezuela. St Hugo would have helped him do that without even asking, the moment that cash hit the central bank's balance sheet. A real citizen of the world would be more than happy to spread the wealth.

That's because their bible is written by Howard Zinn. All evil in the world is in the second lien position to the Great Satan, America.

The DUmmies should be rejoicing...another greedy capitalist has left the country.
...and taken his ill gotten gains with him...that's the part they don't like...

     Ah, liberal shitheads.

When they discuss N Korea or Islamo-fascist states they say, "This is what Tea Baggers want! An authoritarian state!"

When they discuss Somalis and other such places they say, "This is what Tea Baggers want! A governmentless state!"

     What "tea baggers" REALLY want is for shithead do-gooder liberals to stop ranting about Darfur from their $5 million compounds in Ojai and MOVE to Darfur.

     Won't happen until there are are (a) WAY more white people there, and (b) a Trader Joe's.

From what I understand Eduardo Saverin either already is, or soon will be, the richest person in Singapore.

I certainly can't hold that agin him, whats his is his.

[Wineslob]

Can't say I blame him. If it was me, I'd buy a tropical island and tell the Feds to **** off.

[JohnnyReb]

But if he can't come back here, where will he go for first class, finest in the world, medical care when he needs it?









Some president, maybe even Obama, will write him an official pardon (something) to exempt him on humanitarian grounds.

For the citizens of the world. When the world starts killing your asses, don't call us, call The World.

Like the rich Libs who call NYC and LA home, he is only a citizen of the nice parts.

Either that, or they blame us for the situation. These ****sticks can't make up their minds.

We either started it, caused it, or finished it and caused it.

If they don't watch it, soon we will finish it.

Yeah, The Final Solution. Don't worry, they don't know what that is. They'll probably think that's a one time payout of millions from the government.

He could sneak back in through Mexico and get free healthcare.

Talk about crying all the way to the bank...
