-'''Robert Maguire Ugland''' (1872-1957) was a British brewer and industrialist who founded the [[Cayman Islands rum cake|Tortuga]] factory in the [[Cayman Islands|British West Indies]] and who, having made his fortune exporting rum cakes, devoted the autumn years of his life to corporate philanthropy.
+A grand, ocean-fronted five-story Spanish hacienda, [[Ugland House]], houses tens of thousands of homeless, cold, starving  [[orphan ownership|orphan]] [[special purpose vehicles]]. It was named after the founding father of Caribbean [[high finance]], [[George Robert Maguire Ugland]], who set up the first orphanage for parentless [[espievie]]s in the [[Cayman Islands]] in the 1950s.
-He set up his first shelter — a safe house for lost and wayward corporate fictions, in Bermuda in 1923, and later  in 1941 established a colossal facility for unwanted limited liability corporations, general partnerships, Delaware subsidiaries, corporeal trust entities and fiduciaries in the then uninhabited [[Cayman Islands]].
+Ugland’s protogés the [[Maple brothers]], together with their long-time collaborator, dour Glaswegian botanist [[A. J. N. Calder]], built [[Ugland House]] into a magnificent charitable alms house. The building has supplied the world’s asset management sweatshops with a never-ending stream of disciplined, well-schooled orphan [[espievie]]s for over forty years now.
-:''“Give me your poor, huddled, lost little [[special purpose vehicle]]s of the world. Give them to me. I will feed them. I will shelter them, just as they will shelter you, and your taxable income.”
+In G. R. M. Ugland’s own immortal words:
-Ugland’s legacy today is the grand, five story Spanish frontage to [[UGland House]] which, to this day, houses tens of thousands of [[orphan ownership|orphan]] companies.
