Not only do the original evaders get to continue doing it, they’ve also found new loopholes already.
My own experience with tax experts has left me pretty jaded about tax advice. It seems to me that often these companies have maybe 1 dude who actually understands tax and an army of people with powerpoint going out selling the "solution". I had a complex tax situation when setting up a business in the UK and US and got tax advice from one of the big four firms not to dodge tax but to make sure I understood the US system correctly and was paying everything I should. I paid so much tax that I got investigated in both the UK and US because they thought there must be some sort of fiddle because I seemed to be paying way more than I sholud be (this was what I told the accountants). I ended up getting rebates from the IRS and from the UK HMRC after the investigations but it took a couple of years to get it all sorted out.
