Those so called 'Panama Papers'...

[phantasmagoria]

Iceland's prime minister's resigned

[seremtan]

who cares about the Icelandic PM? get to the good stuff already!

[losCHUNK]

Innit. I wanna see the pig fucker defend again

[xer0s]

This kinda goes to show you how irrelevant Iceland is. Everywhere I've looked, it says "Iceland's PM has resigned". It doesn't even say his name.

If Obama resigned, it wouldn't say "The President of the United States resigned". Or if Vlady resigned, it wouldn't say " The President of Russia has resigned"...

[DooMer]

That asshole's name is Sigmundur Davíð Gunnlaugsson, nobody wants to say that shit.

Iceland's prime minister's resigned

According to a Finnish news agency, he'll still remain leader of his party.

Question aside about who it is that gets to decide which "innocent private individuals" are to be left alone, Wikileaks clearly did not like being characterized as conducting "irresponsible" journalism - and to the contrary, many in the public arena have called for another massive, distributed effort to get to the bottom of a 2.4TB treasure trove of data which a handful of journalists will simply be unable to dig through - and moments ago, on Twitter, accused the ICIJ of being a "Washington DC based Ford, Soros funded soft-power tax-dodge" which "has a WikiLeaks problem."

Good op-ed on the bullshit leak

What I find even more curious is the lack of U.S., British, European and Israeli exposure in these recent Panama Paper "leaks." Right?

Surely, we are to believe the western epicenters of the global financial system are pristine examples of integrity, moral certitude and beyond reproach? Right?

Surely, we are to believe the ICIJ (The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists) is 100% independent, non-partisan, and unbiased? Right?

The ICIJ is funded by the Adessium Foundation, Open Society Foundations, The Sigrid Rausing Trust, the Fritt Ord Foundation, the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting, The Ford Foundation, The David and Lucile Packard Foundation, Pew Charitable Trusts and Waterloo Foundation.

Adessium (partly funded by George Soros)

Open Society Foundations (George Soros foundations, a top contributor to Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign, and guilty of a sordid past)

Sigrid Rausing Trust (based in the U.K.)
Fritt Ord Foundation (based in Norway)
Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting (based in the U.S.)
The Ford Foundation (Based in the U.S. and a key funder of Israeli NGOs)
David and Lucile Packard Foundation (based in the U.S.)
Pew Charitable Trusts (based in the U.S.)
Waterloo Foundation (based in the U.K. (Wales))
The "Panama Papers" were also supported (funded) by USAID, the United States Government agency which is primarily responsible for administering civilian foreign aid.

Oh, yeah, it's all a big conspiracy by the west

Innit. I wanna see the pig fucker defend again

He has nothing to defend. The offshore account was a hedgefund based in Ireland, which is used by 90% of the pension funds in the UK. When he sold the shares he paid tax on any profits.

Essentially he has done fuck all wrong and its the media creating sensationalist stories again, which is the bigger issue. We never get the facts as the truth is far to boring and wont sell paper, get channels watch or get web pages clicked.

The guy isnt the most likeable, but this is a bit of a joke.

[seremtan]

lol @ expecting one single company to have a perfect statistically representative spread of all the world's tax dodging

lol @ thinking that Gunlaugsson resigns therefore Cameron resigns, because they both have the same job title right?

Who benefits from the leak? This is Caesar's question. "Cui Bono." The first question the investigator asks.

sure, if the investigator's name is Geoff Leach

No he didn't.

[seremtan]

The prime minister took the unprecedented decision to release his personal tax records on Saturday, as growing anger over revelations in the Panama Papers threatened to derail his premiership.

But the extraordinary move seems set to plunge David Cameron into further controversy, as it emerged that his mother transferred two separate payments of £100,000 to his accounts in 2011, allowing the family estate to avoid a potential £80,000 worth of inheritance tax.

Jimmy Carr too -

I'm going to keep it classy. It would be ‘morally wrong’ and ‘hypocrytical’ to comment on another individual’s tax affairs.
