True, back in the day there was certainly a lot of laxness by all concerned on basing, especially as it applies to residency & taxes to be paid by both the company and the individual. Hard to say though that they are paying for it, because they were costs/ consequences that should have been factored in all along. With the increased focus of inland revenue departments worldwide, and clamping down on offshore accounts, unclear that they wouldn't have been found out in the end anyway... but the process was certainly accelerated.
