Bigger leak than the Panama papers. A lot of tax dodging, corruption and money laundering using offshore companies. Of course, nothing will happen to them so it's w/e tbh.. Several usual suspects like Putin, and clowns from certain countries like Jordan, Pakistan, Ukraine, Ecuador, etc known for fraud going back decades. Sadly no American politicians on this one =[


Some 35 current and former leaders and more than 300 public officials are featured in the files from offshore companies, dubbed the Pandora Papers.

They reveal the King of Jordan secretly amassed £70m of UK and US property.

They also show how ex-UK PM Tony Blair and his wife saved £312,000 in stamp duty when they bought a London office.

The couple bought an offshore firm that owned the building.

The leak also links Russian President Vladimir Putin to secret assets in Monaco, and shows the Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis - facing an election later this week - failed to declare an offshore investment company used to purchase two villas for £12m in the south of France.

It is the latest in a string of leaks over the past seven years, following the FinCen Files, the Paradise Papers, the Panama Papers and LuxLeaks.


The Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and his family, who have been accused of looting their own country, are one example. The investigation found the Aliyevs and their close associates have secretly been involved in property deals in the UK worth more than £400m.

King of Jordan secretly amassed a property empire in the UK and US worth more than £70m (over $100m). They identify a network of offshore companies in the British Virgin Islands and other tax havens used by Abdullah II bin Al-Hussein to buy 15 homes since he assumed power in 1999.

Kenya President Uhuru Kenyatta and six members of his family secretly owned a network of offshore companies. They have been linked to 11 firms - one of which was valued as holding assets of $30m

Members of Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan's inner circle, including cabinet ministers and their families, secretly own companies and trusts holding millions of dollars

The law firm founded by President Nicos Anastasiades of Cyprus appears to have provided fake owners to disguise the real owner of a series of offshore companies - a former Russian politician who had been accused of embezzlement. However, the law firm denies this

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky transferred his stake in a secret offshore company just before he won the 2019 election

Ecuador President Guillermo Lasso, a former banker, replaced a Panamanian foundation that made monthly payments to his close family members with a trust based in South Dakota in the UShttps://www.bbc.com/news/world-58780465

not even worth paying attention to. we can get information revealing trump, biden, whoever the ****, were laundering or dodging taxes and no one will bat an eye. maybe some people that aren't their biggest fans, but the authorities won't do shit bc of extreme corruption. the US is the biggest mafia at the moment. and the DOJ don't do shit because it is their federal agents who are complicit. they decide which rules to enforce and which to ignore when they break them. it's the same reason the DEA has a hard on for cartels...because they can't have competition. same reason the fbi took down the italian mafia...competition. same reason the government wants to regulate cryptos...can't have decentralized finance compete with the central banking system. except crypto cannot be lassoed, so it will end very differently than the cartels and mafia families did.

enough of that tangent though. my point is, when the government that is supposed to keep order is the one committing the major crimes, none of this shit matters. it's just stating the ****ing obvious. whoever is in the white house is just another puppet for the parasitic wealth and elite that run this world. every 4 years they dangle a new face to keep us engaged and distracted.

it's likely these pandora papers are just another distraction. a "bone" the elite threw us so to speak. among the elite, these pawns are non-factors.

The overwhelming vast majority of national/federal level government officials that get to the highest high points are psychopaths.

Anyone want to honestly tell me that Nancy Pelosi isn't a psycho? The eyes never lie.

She doesn't care about anyone except for her. I don't know their hearts, but it seems like that's the vast majority.

The only solution is to find a way to eliminate/minimize the size of federal government. Enter Bitcoin.

These are pretty much the small-time players getting in the leak, yeah. Nobody big on the world stage. I'm sure there are hundreds of big-name players that get off from these sorts of leaks - everyone has a price, including independent journalists. I'm sure money can also buy you better protection from these leaks - some firms specialize in ways to subvert taxes, launder offshore legally using loopholes/laws that don't work for average people.

An actual conspiracy theory and Doomsday Dallas is nowhere to be found. :Dis it even a conspiracy at this point? My first reaction seeing this was “these people suck, but nothing will come of this” and that was that.
