More expatriate Americans are parting with their US citizenship than ever. Overseas US offices reported 1,000 US citizens and green-card holders had renounced their allegiance in just the first three months of the year. The figure puts 2014 on track to top last year's total of almost three thousand renunciations, which was already a record high since the government began disclosing such data.
The figures are somewhat disturbing, as it is more than three times higher then the number in 2012, and greater than the combined totals for 2011 and 2012, according to the US Treasury Department.
