Quick Glance: How Investment Firms Shield the Ultrawealthy from Tax Authorities
- In 2015, the U.S. Department of Treasury hired economist Owen Zidar to help government officials examine the growing use of complex company structures and trusts by the ultrawealthy. These new investment schemes, often referred to as 'large partnerships,' are pervasive in private equity funds and similar investment firms.
- Following years of budget cuts, it was evident to Owen Zidar, now a professor of economics at Princeton University, that the IRS was not effectively enforcing tax laws for the ultrarich.
- With a significant infusion of funding, the IRS is now making efforts to penetrate these opaque bastions of wealth. An investigation by ICIJ sheds light on the challenges faced by the tax authority in untangling the secretive structures of the ultrawealthy.
- Partnerships play a crucial role in U.S. tax law and have become a focal point for large fortunes, contributing to a poorly understood aspect of growing economic inequality. Despite additional funding for the IRS, addressing large partnerships remains a formidable task.

Quick Glance: Ippei Mizuhara Remains Free Despite Bank Fraud Charges on $25,000 Bond
- Former interpreter for baseball star Shohei Ohtani from the Los Angeles Dodgers surrendered to authorities and later appeared before the U.S. District Court.
- Ippei Mizuhara turned himself in on Friday and was subsequently released on an unsecured $25,000 bond, commonly referred to as a signature bond. This arrangement allowed Mizuhara to secure his release without needing to provide any cash or collateral.
- United States Magistrate Judge Maria A. Audero also stipulated that Mizuhara must undergo treatment for his gambling addiction related to the sports betting scandal. Prosecutors alleged that he exploited his personal and professional connection with Ohtani to steal over $16 million from the player's bank account by occasionally posing as Ohtani to bankers to cover his gambling expenses.
- On Friday, Mizuhara only responded to the judge's inquiries by answering 'yes' when Audero asked him if he comprehended various aspects of the case and his bond conditions.
