By Péter MARTON " (It's) just some smart people we have working for us trying to be sensible about the way we’re taxed ," said Bono, born Paul Hewson, U2 frontman (pictured), when asked about his shares in the company Nude Estates , a firm based in low-tax jurisdiction Malta and mentioned in the Paradise Papers , saying so with reference to the "loads of" other companies connected to U2 and its members. Don't have smart people working for you? Don't have loads of companies? If you fail to benefit from this system you do so out of your own negligence.
