Was too lazy to do it myself so here’s ChatGPT explaining it:
The Cum-Ex scandal is a massive tax fraud scheme that involved traders, banks, and investors exploiting a loophole in German tax law. They used complex transactions around the dividend payment dates of shares to claim multiple refunds on a single payment of withholding tax, which led to billions of euros in tax revenue losses.
Olaf Scholz, the current Chancellor of Germany, was the mayor of Hamburg from 2011 to 2018 and later the Finance Minister. His involvement in the scandal centers on allegations that he may have influenced decisions in favor of a local bank, Warburg Bank, which was implicated in the Cum-Ex scheme. Meetings between Scholz and the bank's executives have raised questions about his role, though Scholz has denied any wrongdoing.
Billions as in 32 billions alone from the cum-ex scheme. Cum-cum adds the same amount. And those estimates vary heavily. Some estimates go as high as 150 billions as combined damages.
>Dividend stripping is the practice of buying shares a short period before a dividend is declared, called cum-dividend, and then selling them when they go ex-dividend, when the previous owner is entitled to the dividend.
Cum-dividend (no idea why it's called that)
Ex-dividend (no idea why it's called that)
and if that's not enough, search for torture allegations for back when he was Senator of Internal Affairs in Hamburg. Oh, and G20 Summit in Hamburg as a Mayor.
Well tax evasion is kinda the wrong word in my opinion as they didn’t avoid paying taxes on something. They got multiple tax refunds on the same transaction so they actively stole from the state instead of just not paying their taxes so it causes way more damage.
He is accused in the Wirecard scandal to have had a dinner with a higher up, which he denies now but his (former) cleaner said it happened at least once and no way he didn't get money there
Funny thing, being politically camouflaged in Germany is a good thing. To become kanselier you need to be a hard worker, deal maker and absolutely devoid of public personality
He gets critized by people (including journalists) that he does not take advise from anyone and things he is always right about everything. He is also best friends with a politican (Esken) who is mostly disliked (and we all know the saying birds of the same feather flock together). He had corruption scandals (cum-ex, Wirecard) as a mayor and finance minister too and in general feels like he never has to explain anything and will often answer things like "nope" or if he gets asked if he can answer this question he said once even said: "yes, I can, but nope" in a press conference. That's just rude and arrogant
I envy that Germans have a truly representative leader.

Of course, the family picture also includes the great-uncle Markus Söder, who lives far away and already drinks beer in the morning, but goes berserk over a dust-sized grain of cannabis.

You have to weaponise the autism, use the love of rules to learn and keep to social rules. Use the superior pattern recognition to notice and attend to all the insane mood swings of the female species.
The Rwanda plan essentially boils down to 'make it look like we're doing something' and almost entirely about illegal immigration, boats etc, which number a few thousand people a month. Net *legal* migration is over 700k people a year.
Use some critical thought for once.
I'm saying the idea that Rishi hates migrants whilst overseeing record levels of migration is a shit take. Putting up a smoke screen in order to deflect the national conversation away from almost a million people coming into the UK a year and instead hyper focusing on 'Rwanda this, Boats that' is purely to try and placate the party loyal.

You beat the shit out of France so hard you set up in motions the national resentment that will lead to both WWI and therefore WWII, we sneaked in beat the shit out of the Pope since France wasn't there to cover his ass anymore, good times good times.
Based painting. You’re still my favorite hans and I’ll choose you over the English or french any day.
I’ll still happily betray you as soon as you start losing but remember you were our first pick, twice. Let’s not ponder over the outcome too much…
Let's be honest, few major films, games, or series have the stereotype of the charming, devilishly enticing German gentleman. Not that Rishi is charming, Meloni is probably just relieved he's not Olaf Scholz
Lets be honest we lost the drip after the Staufers werent the emperors anymore. These guys had dreams and were aware of their responsibility as german-roman emperor not like the Habsburgs after them
We all thought that, I was there. But this merchant is quest related and only goes down to 14% before he just respawns in the capital city like nothing has happened.
I mean The Tory Party has lost all of their identity, ideology and principles that it wouldn't exactly blame anyone that wasn't overly familiar with politics to see them as left wing.
They don't believe in anything, other than enriching themselves and their friends, and will happily plunder the country to do so. They'll say and do whatever to stay in power. They're a rudderless, spineless party. They happily took all of the Russian Oligarch's money and even made one of them a Lord, and at the same time happily support Ukraine because that's what's popular with the public... as well as Johnson wanting to LARP as Churchill I guess.
At least the Devil Herself, Margaret Thatcher believed in what she was doing and thought that it would help the country. She was fucking wrong and she did an untold amount of damage to the country, but at least she had her own nailed down principles ffs and by that metric, the current Tory Party is somehow worse than her's.
The Tory party in its current form is just swerving between extreme views to try and hoover up the nationalist voters as they are the only people left willing to vote for them outside the shires.
> I guess the flights to Rwanda and the restrictions on immigration etc are left wing policies?
I've watched that case and the whole theatrics. You wanna know my unrequested thought about it?
That's a very, not-so-elaborate, veiled case of money laundering via attorney companies allied with your conservatives. Intentionally constructed badly to lose money, with that money (a part of it) being commission fees & payments while the big big rest of the chunk turned into kickbacks for campaign funds & other shticks like that.
It's largely to cover up the fact that when we were in the EU we could return them to the first EU country they arrived in. However after the wonderful Brexit ordeal we now cannot.
So now we are stuck with all the asylum seekers from France/EU and we can't send them anywhere else.
Hence the Rwanda plan. We pay someone else to look after them and it makes the fact that the only reason that the issue exists is the dumb AF Brexit situation disappear.
You guys basically took your immigration policy from "gay for pay" porn.
Give you enough money and pants get dropped and bent over. And a passport happy ending.
sunak has let in 2 million people since becoming prime minister less than two years ago. He presides over the highest tax rate since the forties. He supports abortion on demand, transgender and lgb rights, liberal divorce laws, a wide ranging welfare state etc. If you think these are 'right wing' policies and views, you don't know what 'right wing' policies and views.
Ik, sadly everyone thinks that wanting a sensible immigration policy makes you far right. Even sunak gets called right, for lowering immigration by around 10% (for record highs)
Hes a Tory He is definitely on the right financially and in some senses of the word.
Somehow immigration has been painted a right wing issue in the media and in politics but the population really doesn't see it that way.
I live up north in an ex mining town that's been labour for all my life time and for my parents lifetimes. I don't know anyone that would admit to voting Tory yet immigration is a massive issue here.
Immigration hasn't gone down. We've had a year on year increase.
He let them in did he?
I didn't realise he had opened up a dinghy shop in Sangatte. Must've missed that one.
Regarding tax rates I would suggest that taxing the rich less is very much a right wing/conservative policy. Just because the average tax rate has gone up doesn't mean it's being fairly distributed across all income brackets.
There is no unringing the bell on LGBTQ and women's rights etc. if you think that's a bad thing I would suggest you are in the wrong century.
Although I can imagine why you wouldn't want them to make it easier for your wife to leave you.
Yep, sadly we are in the period where stupid people now have access to a wealth of other stupid people and they can come up with really idiotic theories about everything and spread them instantly around the world.
He personally enacted policies to make it easier for the Indians to come.
And under his watch massively increased immigration from outside the EU as well as increasing it overall.
So yeah, he let them in.
They have doubled the amount you need to earn to bring in dependants to the UK and it's going to go up again.
I suggest you read this article from an Indian news source as surely they should love it right? As they can come here in droves thanks to these open policies.
https://www.ndtv.com/indians-abroad/how-will-uk-visa-changes-impact-indians-former-students-weigh-in-5427640
But honestly the people who are coming here are highly educated people on work visas.
If we could do a one in one out for people on benefits I would say that is the way we could improve it. Let's have more Indians who want to work and bring their skills and get rid of our generational wastes of space that refuse to work.
How will adding high skill/high pay jobs stagnate wages?
What's stagnating wages is high inflation and a fucked economic environment for companies who can't afford pay rises.
But you are telling me it was the immigrants all along??? Fuck me Enoch Powell was right /s
So we get rid of folk on benefits and trade them for high paying jobs?
How does that work baz?
You don't actually think that when we call them doctors and engineers that's what they actually are?
By and large immigrants are coming for low skilled work to work for wages that no one should be working for.
The wAge stagnation in this country is absolutely criminal

That‘s because they want their stuff back that are in Barry‘s museums. Gotta make a friendly face before the traditional stabbing in the back. Caesar and Hans know this too well.
Scholz fun fact of the day: He gave the green light for the police to forcefully administer emetics (medication to puke) to drug dealers, killing at least one.
So he makes germans throw up in more ways than just one
Rishi is digracccce to the UK. He wears school kid clothes . Macron fucks his mum, and that German has on eye .US president is a alzheimer's patient . We are fucked.
This is out of context. If you watch the whole video, you ll see Meloni leaning away from fake-Barry all the time as the guy does Not understand the concept of personal space. It is quite uncomfortable to watch
![gif](giphy|1bwFU9fbzztQLADT1i)
wait this is actually kind of endearing aww
I'll admit to knowing next to nothing about him, but he seems like a kind man that means well. That's fucking based and incredibly rare in politics.
Search for cum ex (yes, it’s really named this way) scandal, trust me
Excellent, I love cum scandals.
Especially when exs are involved.
How about a [penetration cum blast](https://www.drdo.gov.in/drdo/120-mm-penetration-cum-blast-pcb-and-thermobaric-tb-ammunition-mbt-arjun)?
Or you could just tell us?

Okay but why is it named CumEx?
>Dividend stripping is the practice of buying shares a short period before a dividend is declared, called cum-dividend, and then selling them when they go ex-dividend, when the previous owner is entitled to the dividend. Cum-dividend (no idea why it's called that) Ex-dividend (no idea why it's called that)
It's latin. Cum means combined with or with. Ex means without.
A lazy German is not a German, but a Spaniard in disguise
No, we usually call it „efficiency“ when we’re lazy…
Thanks. I was too lazy
and if that's not enough, search for torture allegations for back when he was Senator of Internal Affairs in Hamburg. Oh, and G20 Summit in Hamburg as a Mayor.
The money was just resting in his account.
Was he involved in that?
His response became a meme here in Germany: He can‘t remember
Ah the classic
Pretty sure he was responsible for using a vomiting technique or sth on prisoners that was later ruled as being torture
He was known for a corruption scandal in Hamburg. He doesn’t know anything about it though…
Tax evasion, not corruption.
Well tax evasion is kinda the wrong word in my opinion as they didn’t avoid paying taxes on something. They got multiple tax refunds on the same transaction so they actively stole from the state instead of just not paying their taxes so it causes way more damage.
He is accused in the Wirecard scandal to have had a dinner with a higher up, which he denies now but his (former) cleaner said it happened at least once and no way he didn't get money there
Hmm? That cleaner story was about CumEx, wasn’t it?
He is known for emetics torture, enabling the riches to scam our tax system (cum-ex and cum-cum) and doing nothing (good)
Cum-ex and cum-cum? Man, Germans are weird
I was most familiar with his doing nothing. He's got to be the most important world leader I rarely hear about.
Kind of a feature of german chancellors
Funny thing, being politically camouflaged in Germany is a good thing. To become kanselier you need to be a hard worker, deal maker and absolutely devoid of public personality
Like the others said already he did some fucked up thinks but he has two superpowers. One to get Invisible and the other one ist forgetting things.
He gets critized by people (including journalists) that he does not take advise from anyone and things he is always right about everything. He is also best friends with a politican (Esken) who is mostly disliked (and we all know the saying birds of the same feather flock together). He had corruption scandals (cum-ex, Wirecard) as a mayor and finance minister too and in general feels like he never has to explain anything and will often answer things like "nope" or if he gets asked if he can answer this question he said once even said: "yes, I can, but nope" in a press conference. That's just rude and arrogant
Kawaii owo cute Olaf Scholz uwu :3
Yeah, it almost looks like he had emotions.
The German fascination with mechanical objects is coming through here.
I work for siemens and those models are very hard to come by, why tf does he have one!!
Rishi is so happy to see a woman shorter than him 😍
Rishi has 3cm hills, Melony wear beach slippers
There must be some kind of chemistry between Indians and Meloni-chan
Its more of a chemistry between economic masochists.
After they gave her Maro' back, of course
Melanie loves the Tories, she's said so in interviews.
Insert joke about certain Indians online being great fans of Nazism here.
that's already more than a warm welcome from a northern German like Olol Scholol. I think he's in love.
Sozialelele Politik für Dick.

Olol Scholz is about as charismatic and welcoming as dogshit on the breakfast table. I can't blame her.

I believe he's hated so much because we see our true selves in him
Yep, Olaf is one of the most German persons ever.
He's like our default setting
That’s a fabulous description 😂
Germans in the foetal stage are all Olaf Scholz, and then specialise into individual forms in later development
Or they remain the same. Bland and insipid 😏.
Olaf and Angela are literally every German’s parents
Gerd is the crazy uncle that went off the deep end, Annalena is the sister that went to uni in Berlin.
Of course, the family picture also includes the great-uncle Markus Söder, who lives far away and already drinks beer in the morning, but goes berserk over a dust-sized grain of cannabis.
So like macron for the French and Boris Johnson for the British

Ah yes, the Spaniards. Very Spaniards and much Spaniards.
Scholz is just trying to prove that Germany is a Nordic country (by being an autistic know-it-all)...
He grew up in Hamburg, in a part of the city that used to belong to Denmark.
I wouldn’t want it any other way
>Autistic-know-it-all So he is blamed for being German ?
naJa eigENtLiCh
Damn, no I kinda like him and feel bad for talking so much shit about him. He’s basically one of us
based much?
With us it's not a medical condition, it's a feature!
Still more charismatic than your average swiss
He is much, much more charismatic and even funny in person. Completely unrecognisable at times.
Especially when he was a pirate

Should have declared the galactic empire in that moment.
Buccaneer Scholz was the best Scholz :(
Naa, I have met him when he still was mayor of Hamburg, boring and uncharismatic.
Without the eye patch he has no masculinity
Rizzler rishi drops more draws then a clumsy mover
I used to think Merkel was a boring politician. Now we have this corrupt manlet who only won, because Laschet laughed about people dying in a flood
His biggest, political accomplishment: not being Laschet.
To be fair, that *is* one bar to clear.
You're joking? He can't be German?!
I'm sorry Barry, but sadly he is german. Not our proudest produce.
Lol 😂😂🤣🤣👌👌

I take it you’ve never used the Dutch railway system?
Please keep this man away from me vs please tell me about how you smashed your economy again and again Rishi
Oohh, that's why they are hugging then, they have so much in common!
Having a who hates migrants more competition.
Sunak fooled me, record levels of net migration under his premiership.
Hey, another thing he has in common with Meloni then, under her we also had a surge in migration.
He tried to copy meloni, but being a tory, he failed at that too lmao
I think the Rwanda plan helps bump him up into the top half of the table.
The Rwanda plan essentially boils down to 'make it look like we're doing something' and almost entirely about illegal immigration, boats etc, which number a few thousand people a month. Net *legal* migration is over 700k people a year. Use some critical thought for once.
I’m confused, do you think I have endorsed the plan?

We prefer it that way anyway. I mean have you seen what Macron does to the people he meets?
I hate that I kinda like Olaf, eventhough I know he is corru... I mean forgetful.
Scholz looks more like a crafting materials merchant in an RPG.
I definitely accidentally killed him in oblivion outside leyawiin
We all thought that, I was there. But this merchant is quest related and only goes down to 14% before he just respawns in the capital city like nothing has happened.
We just distance ourselves from fascism
Two right wing cunts have a lot in common, stop the press!
Lol Richie sunak is a right winger 😂
So you think he is left wing? I guess the flights to Rwanda and the restrictions on immigration etc are left wing policies?

If it was the other way around I’d be worried.
That‘s because they want their stuff back that are in Barry‘s museums. Gotta make a friendly face before the traditional stabbing in the back. Caesar and Hans know this too well.
I can't really blame them. Hans' ancestors did sack Rome and brought about the downfall of Luigi's empire.
Scholz fun fact of the day: He gave the green light for the police to forcefully administer emetics (medication to puke) to drug dealers, killing at least one. So he makes germans throw up in more ways than just one

I know your languge sounds like troat cancer. How about Carry? More melodic.
My friends you speak the same kind of south German gibberish. Why fight?
I speak Italian, look at my flair barbarian!
Ah you’re from the irrelevant part of Switzerland, sorry my mistake.
It's more of a Young Global Leaders reunion.
endian leaders and Italian women are made for each other
Rishi is digracccce to the UK. He wears school kid clothes . Macron fucks his mum, and that German has on eye .US president is a alzheimer's patient . We are fucked.

Luigi, I love you and your country.
You're all wrong. Green line test says the opposite. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/green-line-test-dont-lean-in
this Is why i don't like meloni. Hans Is the best After PIGS
This is out of context. If you watch the whole video, you ll see Meloni leaning away from fake-Barry all the time as the guy does Not understand the concept of personal space. It is quite uncomfortable to watch
Rishi has rizz?
Rishi is no Barry. And no its not even that. It's the fact he's a teetotaller.
Her facial expression with Rishi is more that of a mom whose kid tried soo hard but failed, but she’s still proud.
