Not sure if you guys have heard yet but thought I'd share as I think the world may face the ripples if this become a shit storm which it likely will. 

The biggest data leak through a whistleblower is leading to a lot of important wealthy people being caught out and put forward onto the spotlight. 

The leak comes from a Panamanian company who set up offshore shell companies for the wealthy. Everything from emails, pdfs, presentations etc has been leaked. The leak is the largest to date (4 times bigger than the biggest leak, sitting at over 2TB of data). 

The people / groups named so far are:

Amithab Buchan and his daughter in law (India's biggest actor and a former miss world) 

The Swiss prime minister 

David camerons dad

Lionel Messi 

Putin

I'll be keeping an eye on this as shits getting real hot real quick. What do you folk think about the consequences for those being brought forward and what the affects will be for the everyday people.

Edit1:

Link to video showing it goes beyond simple tax evasion and the larger affect it's having on people.

Doubt it, the super-rich almost always get away with it in the end. People will be angry for a few days, and then the media will push something else until people forget about it.

Whoever has that information better get it out fast or they risk getting killed or captured.

They didn't put any US companies or personalities on the list yet I believe.

I think the leaks will keep coming for a while. They've sat on the information, compiling cases and research for over a year. They must have a game plan to give out stories on a steady basis.

There is an article that names major world leaders, their relatives and public figures but like it's been said, I don't think it's a full list.

But all they're doing is saving themselves while the rest still have to do it. In fact makes it worse for the rest. Not exactly heroic

Not just tax evasion. Apparently financing war in Syria too, hiding rich pedophiles in Russia who kidnap young girls and groom them for the rich. 

USA leaks are coming soon according to German paper working on the original leaks.

Theres so much shit going on in this world and we don't even know the half of it. If only Switzerland and Cayman would follow suit.

I did not have you pegged as the "tax is theft!" type of guy.
