"Citigroup made more than $4 billion in profits in 2010, but paid no federal income taxes. Citigroup received a $2.5 trillion bailout from the Federal Reserve and U.S. Treasury during the financial crisis. Citigroup has established 427 subsidiaries incorporated in offshore tax havens. In 2012, it stashed $42.6 billion in offshore tax havens to avoid paying U.S. income taxes.




Citigroup would owe an estimated $11.5 billion in federal income taxes if its use of offshore tax avoidance strategies were eliminated. Michael Corbat, the CEO of Citigroup, made more than $17.6 million in total compensation last year." (http://www.sanders.senate.gov/top-10-corporate-tax-avoiders)
