This is an international problem.
The more you tax them, the more will flee to countries willing to make concessions for them. But, taxation is preferable to seizing the assets; after seizure, you will lose a massive amount of business for obvious reasons, it will cost more than you seize.
I think that corporate control would be preferable. Shell companies and their machinations are at an absurd level today, see Panama and Pandora papers for more details.
How would you fix this without international solutions? What would those be? Can't we make a deal?
Too bad we don't have a diplomatic deal maker in office

All the more reason then for a world government to control global taxation! I know, I know, Illuminati and all that jazz. But didn't people have the concept of social contract to allowed to be ruled than live in anarchy? Does "The Leviathan" ring a bell to anyone? What are nation states on a global level if not anarchy?
People complain that the UN does nothing. But when it does act, people will also complain they interfere. Not against you but i want to say humans in genetal are really fucking stupid. We haven't gotten past the ape brain that we have of tribal mentality, as well as only caring about out immediate environment.
If I have the power, I would make everyone travel to space and make them see the Earth from above, and make them realise that all the grievances and fighting we have, are infinitesimally small, insignificant and stupid seeing as how big the Earth and the cosmos are more than we can imagine. Most who viewed the Earth from space became more humanistic. It's called the Overview effect. This puts into perspective what the phrase "look at the bigger picture" truly means.
Get them out of the country. What reason is there to let the removedry be sucked dry by billionaires that aren't giving back?
No reason to let them own any assets or do any business in the cointry without taxing it accordingly.

He pays the politicians. He manipulates them into power via media. He is still a problem.
The politicians won’t curtail him. He is bigger than the law., so the law is defunct. They know and are even taunting it.
The quicker people accept that the better. If the law does not apply anymore…revolution needs to happen. The greedy will want the law to uphold then.
