Re: Elite in full panic possible internet shutdown: biggest ever leak of offshore data exposes financial secrets of rich and powerful
The secret deals and hidden assets of some of the world’s richest and most powerful people have been revealed in the biggest trove of leaked offshore data in history.

Branded the Pandora papers, the cache includes 11.9m files from companies hired by wealthy clients to create offshore structures and trusts in tax havens such as Panama, Dubai, Monaco, Switzerland and the Cayman Islands.

Pandora papers reveal South Dakota’s role as $367bn tax haven
They expose the secret offshore affairs of 35 world leaders, including current and former presidents, prime ministers and heads of state. They also shine a light on the secret finances of more than 300 other public officials such as government ministers, judges, mayors and military generals in more than 90 countries.

The files include disclosures about major donors to the Conservative party, raising difficult questions for Boris Johnson as his party meets for its annual conference.

More than 100 billionaires feature in the leaked data, as well as celebrities, rock stars and business leaders. Many use shell companies to hold luxury items such as property and yachts, as well as incognito bank accounts. There is even art ranging from looted Cambodian antiquities to paintings by Picasso and murals by Banksy.

The Pandora papers reveal the inner workings of what is a shadow financial world, providing a rare window into the hidden operations of a global offshore economy that enables some of the world’s richest people to hide their wealth and in some cases pay little or no tax.

There are emails, memos, incorporation records, share certificates, compliance reports and complex diagrams showing labyrinthine corporate structures. Often, they allow the true owners of opaque shell companies to be identified for the first time.

The files were leaked to the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) in Washington. It shared access to the leaked data with select media partners including the Guardian, BBC Panorama, Le Monde and the Washington Post. More than 600 journalists have sifted through the files as part of a massive global investigation.

The Pandora papers represent the latest – and largest in terms of data volume – in a series of major leaks of financial data that have convulsed the offshore world since 2013.

Setting up or benefiting from offshore entities is not itself illegal, and in some cases people may have legitimate reasons, such as security, for doing so. But the secrecy offered by tax havens has at times proven attractive to tax evaders, fraudsters and money launderers, some of whom are exposed in the files.

I've been lurking for a while but created an account just to respond to this.

Anyone not find the timing of this a little strange? Financial documents that "expose" the elites' financials, hidden, untaxed, etc. etc. etc.

While that's great, it seems to me that this is probably a purposeful release given the timing.

Propose that the IRS monitor everyone's bank accounts that have $600+ in it, or, make $600 transactions, etc., then when they realize a lot of people don't like it .... release "secret documents" that detail what everyone already knew: rich people hide their money and don't pay taxes.

You see where this is going? They are doing this on purpose to nudge the country toward "we must tax them and the only way to do that is to monitor everyone's bank accounts but don't worry it's only the rich people we're after."


You get it now?

It's either intentional to bring about more draconian tax measures or these are elite they want to bring down because they're either done with them or factional infighting.

It's all utter futility.

Every one of those ultra-rich scumbags sold their souls a long time ago.

They won't be taking any of that filthy lucre to the Lake of Fire with them.

There will be intense weeping and gnashing of teeth.


"Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you! Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten. Your gold and silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be a witness against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have heaped up treasure in the last days." James 5:1-3


These motherfuckers are all not only doomed, before they are destroyed, they will BURN.

How many people from Israel and New York are in these "papers?"

America, the source of corruption by creating trillions of free money every year, and so little of these papers cover Americans and Israelis?

What Gives?

Is this a "limited hangout?" "Minimalization" to protect the real big thieves?

The secret deals and hidden assets of some of the world’s richest and most powerful people have been revealed in the biggest trove of leaked offshore data in history.

Branded the Pandora papers, the cache includes 11.9m files from companies hired by wealthy clients to create offshore structures and trusts in tax havens such as Panama, Dubai, Monaco, Switzerland and the Cayman Islands.

Pandora papers reveal South Dakota’s role as $367bn tax haven
They expose the secret offshore affairs of 35 world leaders, including current and former presidents, prime ministers and heads of state.

The files include disclosures about major donors to the Conservative party, raising difficult questions for Boris Johnson as his party meets for its annual conference.

More than 100 billionaires feature in the leaked data, as well as celebrities, rock stars and business leaders. Many use shell companies to hold luxury items such as property and yachts, as well as incognito bank accounts. There is even art ranging from looted Cambodian antiquities to paintings by Picasso and murals by Banksy.
