how many people went to prison as a consequence of the Panama Papers, Bermuda Leaks, Offshore Leaks, and the recent DOSSecrets leaks of UK territory money laundering banks?
zero. no, wait, one 71 year old guy who evaded taxes by naming his 93 year old mother
as the owner of his offshore shell companies did get indicted by DOJ for tax evasion on an amount of income less than $5 million.
i have zero faith in The Powers That Be in our legal system to ever systematically hunt down and crush the multi-trillion dollar shadow economy. DOJ are as good as being the protectors of the Int'l Financial Mafia Syndicates. sadly, i used to hope more vigilante hackers like Phineas Phisher breaching and leaking and doxxing these Shadow Economy overloards would solve the problem. In many ways, hacking made it worse because now the Shadow Economy is spending money to better conceal itself and to embed itself into the crevices of the legit economy to become more untouchable.
i am especially skeptical of ICIJ because they are funded by George Soros' Open Society, which means maybe Soros is paying ICIJ to cover things up and stall for time and provide a soft landing to Int'l Financial criminals.
