They really don't have any explaining to do. Their guilt is pretty obvious, from many sources. But nobody is going to do anything about it.

Don't worry, as usual the media will drop this story nice and quick so it won't change anything. Party on, guys!

Putin is corrupt and morally bankrupt? Say it isn't so. Well, who do you reckon we should send to get an explanation out of him?

BROKEN TAX SYSTEM. Why not start with the rich and corrupt that don't pay taxes vs the workers who struggle. DO something about THAT.

And given the OPM hack that happened a few years ago, what makes them think the IRS would secure personal financial info any better?

Which is good, because proof is good to have. Whether it'll do any good or not I don't know.

And just like the #PanamaPapers nothing will come of it. The news will bury this and people will quickly forget about it. Or not even know.

If you’re American, the reason you think nothing happened is there weren’t many Americans listed. It’s too easy to legally evade taxes here

Remember when the Pandora papers came out and nothing happened.... Oh wait no, I need to wait a few months to say that....

Idk why this is the sentiment. There was a bunch of arrests, they just weren't celebrity rich people like Musk or Bezos so you didn't care.
maydai110
Ya'll want to "eat the rich" but can't name more than 2 billionaires, proclaim socialism, but ignore that socialist countries have them too.
QuartzPoker
As the BBC noted, as shady as a lot of these things are, they're *technically* legal
QuartzPoker
Hit enter too soon. Meant to add "technically legal in a lot of cases."
RottedOnion
Well, some stuff happened but clearly not enough to scare the rich psychopaths that rule the world to change their ways.
DrDadJokes
I remember when evading taxes was a 'smart move'
mithiwithi
Nope. I remember when the Panama Papers came out and a hell of a lot happened, just not big headline-grabbing arrests.
DatDarthCaedus
Yeah, I believe it's still being investigated. It's just that no media source is going to report on every detail over years of work.

This is utter BS. https://www.icij.org/investigations/panama-papers/five-years-later-panama-papers-still-having-a-big-impact/

Were people convicted. Money returned, real effects not just "still having impact".

Well mostly there is a "push for"new legislation, and some people are charged. Let's see the amount of people that actually go to prison.

Little fish got caught all the major actors exposed in these Pandora papers (almost 3 TB), are still free and back at it

I wouldn't call $1.36 bil recovered globally a "big impact". Most of the "impact" the article describes is just making ppl talk, like imgur.

It’s also why I dislike the Epstein murder conspiracy theory. All that will accomplish is tainted jury pools

Right. It can’t be enough that prosecutors and police were hideously and disgustingly negligent. It has to be a conspiracy.

You don't know exactly who it was though. Could be a bit of both.

The person who did it was caught and has provided the evidence implicating the local Maltese corrupt official she previously wrote about.
