Fourteen years later, retired botanist [[Herbert Fonesca]] came across neat piles of tax losses when on a forest walk with his grand-children which the children traced all the way to back to a mating pair of concealed film espievies, of a type never before seen in Panama.<ref>Fonseca should have realised trouble was in store: the very thing about film partnerships is that they are ''not meant to be traceable''</ref> | Fourteen years later, retired botanist [[Herbert Fonesca]] came across neat piles of tax losses when on a forest walk with his grand-children which the children traced all the way to back to a mating pair of concealed film espievies, of a type never before seen in Panama.<ref>Fonseca should have realised trouble was in store: the very thing about film partnerships is that they are ''not meant to be traceable''</ref> | ||
Then, in 1964, Jersey paleontologist [[Ichabod Mourant]] discovered a colony of “[[Oeic]]s” (the word is derived from the Jèrriais for “imaginary legal entity” and is pronounced “[[Oik]]”) nesting in the archive stacks of Guernsey’s ''Library for the Illiterate''.

The [[espievie]] was first bred in captivity in a famous scientific collaboration between [[Calder]] and the [[Maple brothers|Godfrey and Maginot Maple]] brothers, then working in the [[George Ugland]]’s zoological menagerie in [[George Town]]. The site is occupied today by the [[Ugland House]] orphanage, which is headquarters of an industrial breeding programme for [[espievie]]s of all kinds, meaning that the continued survival of this freak of financial biology is, for the foreseeable future, assured. | The [[espievie]] was first bred in captivity in a famous scientific collaboration between [[Calder]] and the [[Maple brothers|Godfrey and Maginot Maple]] brothers, then working in the [[George Ugland]]’s zoological menagerie in [[George Town]].
