Wait, what?
Loss of citizenship? For the commission of a felony? Even Treason? You
mean this is all I have to advise my expatriating clients to do? Wow.
They will be thrilled to see that they meet the "not renouncing citizenship
for the primary purpose of avoiding taxation" and avoid the 10 year
extended taxation provisions easily just by violating ITAR from the comfort
of Switzerland.
Your question is very vague to begin with. I don't believe there is a on
point ruling on "exporting expertise," which is what your question appears
to deal with. Of course, I can be sure because I have no idea what you are
asking here exactly and what the answer really might have said but it looks
rather twisted to me.
Now, does this belong on CodherPlunks?
You didn't pay me. This isn't legal advice.
