This is excellent, Olivier. As someone affected by FACTA, and who has been following the commentary on it for approx. 10 years, your breadth & depth of knowledge on the subject is incredible, especially for someone not affected or connected to it.
I look forward to reading more of your posts, both related & unrelated (for I am also an IT professional).
As someone who has been involved in the FATCA "Wars" for over decade my own view was Boris paid up not because he was worried about going to jail but because if he didn't it would have affected US-UK relations and was strongly advised by people around Downing Street and the HMRC(in addition to the UK banking industry) not to cause a huge ruckus with Washington, DC.
Great read. And good to know about Boris Johnson. A very well researched and perfectly used introduction into this topic of FATCA.
