So far a soccer player who is apparently already mired in financial scandal and Jackie Chan

They just have numbers and names right now, no emails. Jackie Chan owns 6 companies.

Conclusive documentation showing how the ruling elite of a huge number of second tier countries hosed over the poor and often their own citizens so they could gently caress white whores in NY and Paris and eat human flesh.

are the same thing!

Some time ago the Icelandic government received an invitation to buy some records about tax evasion by Icelandic businesses and individuals. They were very hesitant but kept stressing that tax evasion was a really bad and immoral thing that they cared deeply about but eventually decided not to buy the files saying that it wouldn't be right to buy what was probably stolen data which led to rumors about them having something to hide.

Turns out that was completly right. The finance minister and the minister of the interior also have their own off-shore tax evasion companies.

Supposedly the leak was so big that they haven't been able to even pour through it yet. I can't wait to see what gets uncovered the next few days. :munch:

If you think it's important to know that people you already thought were corrupt shitheads have money that isn't being properly taxed at home (with the implication that it will be properly taxed at home despite the major accountancy firms like EY, PWC, KPMG, and Deloitte having a complete stranglehold over the western auditing system and its regulation), you can now know, at least as far as one specific firm goes.
