For many years Calder believed the creature he had found the “common Cayman exempted [[espievie]]” (genus ''consortium restrictum culpam caymanium'') was unique in the world.  But Calder’s, and our, world was repeatedly rocked over the next thirty years as naturalists found variants elsewhere
For many years Calder believed the creature he had found, and which he [[Taxonomy|taxonomised]] as the “common Cayman exempted [[espievie]]” (genus ''consortium restrictum culpam caymanium''), was unique in the world.  But Calder’s, and our, world was repeatedly rocked over the next thirty years as naturalists found variants elsewhere in many different financial and regulatory climates.


The first to do so was [[L. B. G. T. Appleby]] who discovered the Bermudan reinsurance [[espievie]] not too far from the Caribbean along the Gulf Stream, of course, in 1939.

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''. Since then [[espievie]]s have proven robust migrants and flourished in many fiscal climates.
