Perhaps that had something to do with it

That could be. Here's the excerpt from Mick's book, page 151:

"Everything of Fleetwood Mac's was still in Bob Welch's name because we had no green cards that would let us work and earn money in the States. I remember that the $200,000 record advance from Warner Bros. to me, John and Chris went directly into Bob's bank account and that years later he got a hell of a tax bill.
