Keep the “Panama Papers in the News While the Rich enact austerity.
How two German newspaper reporters broke the story behind the Panama Papers
The interesting thing is that all the documents appear to originate from the same law firm. I’m familiar with Mossack Fonseca, but only ever as an impenetrable wall, a black hole.
Every time our research has led us to this law firm, it has spelled the end of our investigation. Mossack Fonseca is one of the largest providers of anonymous shell companies and is not exactly famed for being fussy about its clientele; quite the opposite, in fact.
In plain English: While many of its clients are doing nothing illegal, some of the world’s biggest scumbags have used Mossack Fonseca’s anonymous offshore companies to disguise their business dealings.
During the “Offshore Secrets” and “HSBC Files” investigations we came across convicted drug kingpins and suspected traders of blood diamonds who had used companies established by Mossack Fonseca for camouflage purposes.
Search the internet for Mossack Fonseca’s clients and you will also find accomplices of Gaddafi, Assad, and Mugabe alegedly working hand-in-glove with the Panamanian law firm.

The Panama Papers must stay in the news as Billionaires and Millionaires hide taxable income around the world. We came close to the second great depression as governments say we don't have money for schools to cutting funds to find multimillionaire tax cheats.
Remember Bush cutting taxes for the first time in history during a war and how about the Death Tax that was pushed through by the likes of the Walmart Family who's matriarch was living in Texas and in her 80's donating or buying off the great state of Texas politicians to receive tax breaks in the form of Inheritance Tax/Death Tax.
Today all republicans talk about cutting taxes as much as three trillion is hidden offshore, we need to crucify these bastards, no money for schools to infrastructure, greed will be the demise of this county. just go back and look at what was filibustered by republicans, from helping veterans to health insurance, the dark side is winning.
