    The investigators have said that they will be questioning potential witnesses and accomplices, starting with a well-known incorruptible source, Shakira’s hips.

      Fortunately they’re known for their complete honesty in all situations

    Shakira, and many artists, are known to have done this for a long time. They take a relatively small salary, but then accept huge bonuses on the side. The main salary is easy enough to obfuscate, but unfortunately for Shakira, the tips don’t lie.

    Good. I used to think she was one of the sane pop idols, but it turns out she’s just the same old piece of shit as the majority of them. I hope they make an example out of her waka waka her ass to white collar prison in cuffs.

      I hate the idea that we have different kinds of prisons for different classes of people. In my opinion any kind of tax fraud or financial cheating on the public is a worse crime than most of the ones we currently punish with years of regular prison, except those causing physical / psychological harm to others.
