@neo_wales I always love reading your posts as you make me have to think before replying to you and I rarely have the chance to do either, this thread moves fast!
MM is a US citizen and as long as she retains her US citizenship there is literally nothing she can do to dodge the IRS. Also, in addition to being married to a high profile idiot, she tried weaseling her her way out of the tax on $900ish back in 2010 and ended up owing the tax plus interest, so either or both will keep her under IRS scrutiny for the foreseeable future.
Per PH, they’ve been extremely secretive concerning his status in the US so I’d rather not venture an opinion but for anyone that wants to delve a little further have at it:
Aliens are considered nonresidents of the United States unless they meet the Green Card test or the Substantial Presence test.

I wouldn’t be surprised if she shows up for the trial in the UK if her current victim PR crusade in the US doesn’t go as she plans. She appears to truly believe that all it will take to win her case is that she gets to tell her side of the story. Come hell or high water, she’s shown the world she’s one determined piece of work.
I also wouldn’t be surprised if this case is settled on the courthouse steps the day of the trial so that it appears MM didn’t lose. But don’t despair, as this is not a personal injury case the IRS will end up with their share of her winnings.
Per future earnings and celebrity status, I doubt winning or losing will have much impact, at least here in the US. They’d need to release a sex tape ala Kim Kardashian and even then it could go either way.
