Jas Bains, a former lawyer who blew the whistle on a £1bn tax scam and was embroiled in a lawsuit as a result, recently concluded an eight-year legal battle. The scam involved a complex investment strategy known as cum-ex, which led to significant financial losses for taxpayers across Europe. Despite being targeted in the lawsuit, Bains ultimately helped Danish authorities bring the mastermind of the scam, Sanjay Shah, to justice.
