Holding

A hedge-fund manager who hid millions in income and offshore accounts, then renounced citizenship on a false expatriation statement to evade taxes, was sentenced to 37 months and $3.4M restitution — affirming that "renouncing U.S. citizenship does not shield you from American justice." Aligns with Articles XVIII, IX, X, and II: it enforces the rule of law, protects honest enterprise and honest fiscal accounting, and affirms that citizenship obligations cannot be dodged by expatriation. 70/30 weighting applied (official communication). Final score 78 — Mostly America First.
