Love the way the Guardian are covering their asses on this one - "we'll make it sound bad, but will stress that nothing illegal can be proved". Some quotes from the Guardian article

There is no suggestion that Blairmore was using them for any illegal purpose, and they were common among offshore funds at the time.

There is no suggestion this arrangement was illegal and it was used by other offshore funds at the time
Quote:
Blairmore was created at a time when currency controls had just been relaxed and a number of British money managers decided to go offshore to make the most of low-tax jurisdictions. In 2012, in response to wider industry trends away from offshore, Blairmore moved residence from Panama to Ireland, which means it is now regulated in Europe.
