Wrecker Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 (edited) http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/panama-papers-neil-macdonald-1.3520491 Kind of like the big NSA fiasco, this spiel seems to be yet another thing that has been mentioned and suspected in history with no real supporting material... Well, it's out now. There's always been talk about offshore holdings, tax evasion and the like. Edited April 7, 2016 by Wrecker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PastryOfApathy Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 I've been reading into this a bit lately and it's honestly impossible to understate how fucking massive this is. Especially when you consider that Mossack Fonseca (the firm the leak was from) is only like 4th largest firm of its type last time I checked. That and the fact that this isn't even getting into the US which was "lucky" enough to not ever really use them for their off-the-book needs.

Saxon Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 (edited) Putin responded to the revelation that many of his close associates were involved by accusing journalists of being CIA operatives and his critics of being 'Putinophobic'. Why do Russians not laugh at this child of a man? Edited April 8, 2016 by Saxon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saxon Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Well, my country's Prime minister is being hounded because his father owned an offshore bank account in Panama, back when that sort of activity was legal. He's not exactly responsible for the actions his father took when he was a child, so this is a bit silly. ...and Iceland's prime minister has resigned, due to accounts found in his wife's name. Now, though, he has bizarrely 'unresigned'. I didn't know you could even do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few hundred thousand people live there. A lot of Volcanologists are Icelandic; names like Siggurdson and Gurdmundson abound in Volcano science. It is amazing how big their research footprint is given that they have the population of a small city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's happening in Russia and China, but I don't think it will happen in the West; the press will not be able to resist these juicy scoops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
