Crazy theory: most posts here are from German Tax office. They give a "free" advice, and send a fat tax penalty 5 years latter! Suprise: you never left!

If the German tax office is actually using HN for such schemes I'd have to give them more credit for using technology effectively than I currently do. It would be funny if they did though.

If you move back to Germany within 7 years, you actually don't have to pay the tax, so this would be a pretty poor use of their time :P

That's a point for that theory, not against ;)
