    2.6 terabyte leak of Panamanian shell company - Now also with 1.4TB more Paradise!

    Doing this on phone and in a hurry so will edit it my mistakes later.


    Over a year ago, an anonymous source contacted the Süddeutsche Zeitung (SZ) and submitted encrypted internal documents from Mossack Fonseca, a Panamanian law firm that sells anonymous offshore companies around the world. These shell firms enable their owners to cover up their business dealings, no matter how shady.

    In the months that followed, the number of documents continued to grow far beyond the original leak. Ultimately, SZ acquired about 2.6 terabytes of data, making the leak the biggest that journalists had ever worked with. The source wanted neither financial compensation nor anything else in return, apart from a few security measures.

    The data provides rare insights into a world that can only exist in the shadows. It proves how a global industry led by major banks, legal firms, and asset management companies secretly manages the estates of the world’s rich and famous: from politicians, Fifa officials, fraudsters and drug smugglers, to celebrities and professional athletes.

    These guys are saying they have yet to release anyone from America. Apparently they have a whole shit ton that needs it's own release date. Calls for connections to those currently running for president are already being asked.

    Expect a list to be released everyday for 2 weeks. We will most likely hear things in America and Canada on Monday. The IRS must be salivating at this point at the coming feast.

    Most impressive thing is that little over 400 world wide reporters kept this secret for a year. Crazy

    Wonder what would happen if the Clinton's and Trump are on the list in the coming weeks.

    Well considering if they didn't they would probably end up in the back of a chem shed or something...

    Someone did the math with how many reporters and journalists were in on this...each one had to sift through roughly 80 files or so a day.

    The Editor in Chief of Süddeutsche Zeitung responded to the lack of United States individuals in the documents, saying to "Just wait for what is coming next".

    Dis gonna be good.

    I will link it later or someone else could, but they blindsided Iceland PM on T.V. and he just stutters and walked out.

    Here is video.

    In other news there has been a sudden spike of suicides across the world.

    The previous whistleblower that exposed the Swedish offshore accounts, which I think led to an estimate that 10's of trillions were being hoarded by the rich, didn't really amount to much of a reaction, from I remember.

    I think this is going to blow the fuck up, especially with the environment around this election season.

    I find it unlikely that, if the Clintons used this service, that they were not aware this leak was on its way out.

    400 journalists is a lot of weak links.

    Which makes it amazing no one died/jailed during the process.

    Oh, I expect that'll happen soon enough as people try to make examples out of the media responsible for the releases.

    Are we predicting that their names will never be released, given the volume of powerful people implicated so far?

    I'm confused as to why there is no reporting so far on U.S. firms or individuals involved in this leak. What's the holdup?

    Yeah but this stuff isn't even being reported on a lot of major news websites. You would think a potentially massive corruption scandal would at least get a blurb on CNN's front page somewhere.

    No Americans have been revealed yet, which will not be news to us. Also there is a good chance the owners of these stations may also be implicated in these leaks. I still say we wait for tomorrow before we start judging.
