Shocking reveal about corruption, extortion, fraud and tax evasion in Canada. Almost a thriller, certainly horrifying shenanigans: summary below from the Public library's overview ~

Bruce Verchere was a highly respected tax lawyer whose clients included Brian Mulroney, Canada's prime minister at the time; Arthur Hailey, one of the world's best-selling novelists; and the Swiss Bank Corporation, Switzerland's second-largest bank. Lynn Verechere was a computer software entrepreneur whose innovative systems, licensed by IBM, helped revolutionize the management of law offices throughout North America.

After years of the intricate manipulation that was his stock-in-trade, Bruce deployed the family's private trust, myriad bank accounts, and offshore companies to secrete their wealth beyond the reach of the taxman and even of his wife. ( )
