ErehdyseksperttiJokamiehen veroparatiisi-opasYli puolet maailmankaupasta ja suurin osa rahoituslaitosten rahaliikenteestä kulkee veroparatiisien kautta. Noin 10 000 miljardia dollaria yksityistä omaisuutta on piilotettuna veroparatiiseihin. Jokaista kehitysmaiden saamaa tukidollaria kohti kymmenen dollaria virtaa laittomasti ulos, enimmäkseen veroparatiiseihin. Suuryritykset pitävät yhä suuremman osan varallisuudestaan veroparatiiseissa, ja pankit ovat niiden ylivoimaisesti suurimpia hyväksikäyttäjiä, kirjoittaa Nicholas Shaxson kirjassaan Aarresaaret: miehet jotka ryöstivät maailman (2012).
Veroparatiisit ovat 1970-luvulta alkaen olleet keskeisesti mukana lähes kaikissa suurissa talousskandaaleissa ja jokaisessa finanssikriisissä, mukaan lukien viimeisimmässä maailmanlaajuisessa talouskriisissä.
