Sunny Places for Shady People: Fear & Loathing Offshore

Former binman-cum-barrister Harry Morgan* runs one of the world's most successful off shore service providers. In the course of a career that has spanned four continents, three decades and too many booze-ridden business lunches to count, he's come across his fair share of colourful characters. This b ook is just as much an homage to some of them as it is an illuminating insight into the well-guarded world of off shore tax. Sunny Places for Shady People charts the true story of a life well winged. From Harry's fi rst attempt to gatecrash the fi nancial services community on the Isle of Man to his current role as a respected and infl uential advisor to some of the most powerful individuals in the world, Morgan recounts his road to success through a series of increasingly madcap anecdotes. Climbing t he c orporate l adder i sn't e asy a t t he b est o f t imes, b ut Morgan's remarkable sang-froid has seen him not only survive but thrive aft er escapades ranging from Fear and Loathing-style road trips with the boss to doing business deals under pressure from the Polish mafi a. Sprinkle in a collection of accidental Asian escorts, awkward fi sticuff s with the Samoan rugby team and all-too-regular run-ins with the Gibraltarian police force and the result is a bombastic yarn that proves, once and for all, that the path to happiness is littered with the shattered remains of garden gnomes... *N.B: 'Harry Morgan' is a pseudonym
