What is a Sham Trust? And why the concept likely does not exist.

In arguably the deepest dive you will find on Sham Trusts, Ross explains the full history of the sham trust concept in English and other common law jurisdictions along with details on how the offshore finance and legal world developed from the industrial revolution, to the excesses of the 90s and to the complex legal and tax world we now live in and how trusts and other legal devices are being viewed by the courts around the world. He uncovers that actually the Sham Trust doctrine is very weak if, it even exists at all. There is much gold in this video for trustees, settlors and beneficiaries including extensive case law, recommended reading and academic papers.
