Apple, tech companies to bring back $400 billion in overseas cash to the
US: Estimate
https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/05/apple-tech-companies-to-bring-back-400-billion.html

.....

note that is just relatively recent tax loopholes made legal by
congress.

spring 2009, IRS announced that it was going after $400B in taxes on
money illegally stashed overseas by 52,000 wealthy americans (over and
above tax loopholes that allowed trillions to be legally stashed
overseas) since the start of the century ... then little or nothing in
the news. spring 2011 the new speaker of the house has press conference
where he says he is cutting the budget for the IRS department
responsible for recovering the $400B. Since then there has been periodic
news about the banks and financial advisors have been fined a few
billion for their part in facilitating illegally stashing trillions
overseas (again, over and above the trillions that congressional tax
loopholes allowed to be stashed overseas "legally") ... but almost
nothing about recoverying the $400B in taxes owed on the money illegally
stashed overseas.
