Those so called 'Panama Papers'...

[mjrpes]

It's like picking up a rock and finding thousands of little critters swarming in panic.

[losCHUNK]

Wonder what Panama man let that slip out

[Transient]

I'm sure none of it will be surprising to learn, but satisfying to finally see out in the light of day.

2.6TB of data is crazy. This could be I interesting.

.........approximately 11.5 million documents ............ covers a period spanning from the 1970s to the spring of 2016.

That is a lot of information give the span of years. I do hope we hear more on this as it unfolds.

Juicy. This could be good.

I saw David Cameron's father's name popped up with an offshore account to hide $20 million from taxes. Hmmm...

Typical. Single moms with double day jobs pay tax money they really can't miss every month yet the insatiable rich and famous actually pay people so they can get even richer.

[phantasmagoria]

Holy shit

There are going to be some next level distraction tactics to redirect away from this.

[Ryoki]

Very interesting, wonder what the fallout will be

I like schadenfreude

Typical. Single moms with double day jobs pay tax money they really can't miss every month yet the insatiable rich and famous actually pay people so they can get even richer.

I think most of us would probably avoid paying some tax if we were able to, but realistically the only people who are able to save a lot of money are those who already earn a lot and like you say can afford to actively pay someone to save them money.

[losCHUNK]

Only cos they (the rich) threw money at carving holes through our tax laws.

[xer0s]

There won't be be a damn thing done about all this. No change. No backlash. Nothing...

Also, International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), who coordinated much of the global coverage of the Panama Papers, has put together this very good interactive page covering dozens of national leaders, politicians and officials. You can click on each to see what the leaked files say about their actions, and their response: https://panamapapers.icij.org/the_power_players/

Bernie Sanders saw this coming from a mile away. On October 12, 2011, Sen. Sanders took the Senate floor to denounce the Panama trade pact, shooting down the conventional arguments in favor of the deal.

“Panama’s entire economic output is only $26.7 billion per year, or about two-tenths of one percent of the US economy,” Sanders said at the beginning of his speech. “No one can legitimately claim that approving this free trade agreement will significantly increase American jobs.”

Then, Sanders warned of the widespread corruption that would follow should the pact become official.

As Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton was on the complete opposite side of the issue. In an official statement issued by the US Department of State on October 13, 2011 (one day after Sanders’ floor address), Clinton congratulated President Obama for passing the trade pact, citing the very same job creation arguments Sen. Sanders shot down a day earlier. Clinton made no mention of Panama’s reputation as a tax haven, and even invoked “working families” in her statement
