Or is there?
Well, sometimes there is...
BUT you should be aware of all the consequences.
Example:
↳ Mossack Fonseca firm was the world’s fourth-largest provider of offshore financial services, established in Panama.
↳ Their actions were exposed in Panama Papers, the founders were arrested and now are on a trial.
↳ They claimed they did nothing illegal. Maybe that's true, maybe it's not - the trial will tell.
But here's the kicker: even if their actions were legal in their country, they were illegal elsewhere and considered unethical.
Where the firm Mossack Fonseca now?
It doesn't exist.
Remember:
Even if there's a "legal" way to do illegal things, doesn’t mean that it’s the right thing to do.
No matter how "legal" something might seem, if it is not ethical, it may get you into trouble.
