Ca sauve tout.
Johnny, a FON (Friend of Nicolas), is still a Swiss resident, where he pays EUR 600K annual taxes instead of EUR 4M had he returned to France, as he promised to do so (and then forgot) when the "fiscal shield" became law in France.
Folks are not too happy to see a fiscal expat being commissioned for this national celebration day with taxpayers money (French taxpayers not Swiss ones...)
But hey, his name was suggested by the Prez himself, so... Europeans think a hundred miles is a long way. Americans think a hundred years is a long time.
