Former U.S. attorney arrested
Tax conspiracy among charges

Federal prosecutors said Currin, a familiar face in the state's political and legal circles, was involved in a scheme to help people set up offshore bank accounts, offshore credit cards and foreign trusts, all to help them evade federal income tax.

Currin, a protege of former U.S. Sen. Jesse Helms, is well-known in conservative Republican politics in North Carolina. His connections were on display in his law office, which has featured photographs of Currin with such luminaries as Helms, former President Reagan and former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.

1. This type of tax evasion is a GOP STAPLE - and probably 3/4 of GOP

lawyers are doing similar deals.

2. If they start arresting people for helping set up off-shore tax shelters

there are going to be a LOT of people in trouble.

This stuff is an accepted thing to do in corporate circles.
