Lauren Loricchio

Lauren Loricchio is the Tax Notes reporter in The leaked tapes that show how the rich avoid taxes. The Planet Money episode relies on her reporting, pitch materials, source network, and leaked recordings to turn the Malta Tax Loophole from a technical treaty story into an account of how high-end tax shelters are marketed and defended.

Her contribution is access. The source uses her pitch-deck evidence from Dominion Fiduciary Services, estimates about hundreds of users and billions of dollars in accounts, and recordings involving Kenneth Keyes to show [[TaxAvoidanceEvasionBoundary|tax legality]] being fought over by professionals.
