That’s it?
The Panama papers consisted of 11 millions documents, 214 000 offshore companies, 14.000 customers… And now 27 are charged, and that’s it.
Don’t forget the guy who broke this story kinda sorta exploded
Not on purpose either
I want to point out that’s not typical
Right. And how many specific names? A hell of a lot more than 27.
These were the 27 who weren’t rich or powerful enough to buy/influence their way out of it.
Possibly paid patsies ready to take the fall. Or some intern the bank is willing to throw under the bus.
Just like 08, where one fucking person got charged and it was some low level VP

Just the law firm is in trouble and none of the clients who had their money laundered.
Honestly I was expecting all 27 to be the journalists that covered it knowing how fucked this world is when it comes to justice…
Too late, as the one who broke the story got murdered years ago. She’s not talked about nearly enough.
I would have, but I didn’t remember it offhand and didn’t have time to check. She deserved far better than she got though, that’s for sure.
Nah I’m sure all the prosecutors are in mortal danger
This is wholesome news indeed! It’ll be especially nice if other criminals get arrested as well.
More, please!
