PANAMA PAPER DEATH COUNT  :Iceland Prime Minister Sigmundur Gunnlaugsson: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-04-05/iceland-pm-resigns-following-panama-papers-leak/7302330 Volkerball posted:ICIJ is back up. Here's a list of all the major names involved. It's all interactive. Click the name to see what they are implicated in. So, the Panama Papers hack of Mossack Fonseca probably deserve their own thread. This is young, but it's apparently the biggest hack of all time. Here are the salient points from The Guardian: http://www.theguardian.com/news/2016/apr/03/what-you-need-to-know-about-the-panama-papers?CMP=share_btn_tw quote:Mossack Fonseca is a Panama-based law firm whose services include incorporating companies in offshore jurisdictions such as the British Virgin Islands. It administers offshore firms for a yearly fee. Other services include wealth management. Yeah David Cameron, about that? https://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/716717197209501698 This already is blowing up in Iceland with calls for the PM, who apparently has some shady offshore accounts here, to retire in shame. https://twitter.com/DrAwab/status/716731923612176384 This is a huge database and people are going to be looking for more and more politicians who are hiding their money in Panama to avoid taxes as well as just famous people etc etc. Nawaz Shariff and Al-Assad have accounts there so far, thought those are a little less surprising. Use this thread to discuss revelations as they come about. Adding to the OP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6XnH_OnpO0 pathetic little tramp fucked around with this message at 18:09 on Apr 5, 2016 |

Looks like this is the major website documenting everyone involved. Seen a lot of screenshots from it. It's down at the moment though. https://panamapapers.icij.org/ It's starting to look like you're more likely to have the leader of your country implicated than not. Azerbaijan, Pakistan, Russia, Ukraine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, China, Iceland, and on and on and on.

Fake edit: If it somehow magically does manage to topple the government I will die laughing. Government that supports recording the every communication and private data of every person gets massive real world lesson on the downsides of having your every communication and private data recorded.

Here's a video of Sigmundur Davíð Gunnlaugsson - the Prime Minister of Iceland - being confronted about the leak: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oapzwJUmujQ http://www.theguardian.com/news/2016/apr/03/iceland-pm-calls-snap-election-offshore-revelations This was supposed to be the guy who was going to put an end to this sort of thing in the country. That quivering lip says it all..

How come there seem to be no Americans implicated in this whole mess? I haven't seen any names from over there yet. Seems weird. Also come on CNN, you used to be the news:

This is way bigger than the Snowden leaks, I don't think the corporate media and the elites will be able to gloss it over and play it down the same way.

Looks like Argentina's shiny new president Macri is implicated. Wonder if this puts him in any serious danger.

Bit of an interesting take on why we might not be seeing so many U.S. companies involved here (albeit there are surely other factors involved here): https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2016/04/corporate-media-gatekeepers-protect-western-1-from-panama-leak/ quote:What do you expect? The leak is being managed by the grandly but laughably named “International Consortium of Investigative Journalists”, which is funded and organised entirely by the USA’s Center for Public Integrity. Their funders include Seems like kind of a curmudgeony response to a giant collaborative effort by so many journalists, but its worth knowing anyways, imo.

I dont think the ICIJ are interested in dumping the files outright, sounds like Süddeutsche Zeitung recieved the documents from an internal source over a year ago and shared them with ICIJ affiliates to go through them for information "in the public interest" A press release that's been republished on a couple of sites says they will release the full list of companies and people linked to them in May so it's probably going to be a slow drip of news

Dissemination and verification are absolutely necessary. Süddeutsche is the best German newspaper and my subscription to it is worth every single cent.
