Given he doesn't own the vast majority of that combined entity he might find that tricky. By vast majority I mean 98% of the voting rights.

Would also be complicated as Captain Tax Avoidance would be risking some liabilities.

.... earlier in the thread I've said that I believe Malone has some form of relationship with the Newhouse family that amongst other things allows him total control of Discovery.

Prior to this cable merger, Malone was the largest shareholder in Charter and the Newhouses' the largest shareholder in Bright House. Their combined shareholding of the new Charter company makes them the largest shareholders if they are, as I believe, working together. They'll own 34% of the combined company. What other classes of shares they may have, I do yet know. Malone always owns less common stock of his companies, yet always has higher voting rights shares giving him effective control.

Yes, I am interested what he does with regards to tax as well...... hence my Liberty Global comments. You call him Captain Tax Avoidance, I call him Captain Offset. When I used to work in the field it was explicitly changed from calling things tax avoidance to tax planning. Whatever you think of Malone, he is a master tax planner.
