Selene Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Now this story could have real legs... Why did it come out now? Quote BERLIN — It started with an email in early 2015: "Hello, this is John Doe. Interested in data?" "We are very interested," replied a journalist in Munich. The exchange resulted in internal documents from Mossack Fonseca — a Panama law firm that creates anonymous offshore companies around the world — being sent to staff at the Süddeutsche Zeitung, a large German daily. The newspaper had been involved in tax-haven investigations before. The newspaper received about 2.6 terabytes (2,600 gigabytes) worth of information detailing how leaders, celebrities and athletes from around the globe acquired shell companies that can enable owners to cover up their dealings, and hide money. WOW! Does not even touch how shattering this list could be! http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2016/04/04/panama-papers-suddeutsche-zeitung-journalists/82614652/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
