Giant Leak of Offshore Financial Records Exposes Global Array of Crime and Corruption
Surprise!
In this story
Files reveal the offshore holdings of 140 politicians and public officials from around the world
Current and former world leaders in the data include prime ministers of Iceland and Pakistan, the president of Ukraine, and the king of Saudi Arabia
More than 214,000 offshore entities appear in the leak, connected to people in more than 200 countries and territories
Major banks have driven the creation of hard-to-trace companies in offshore havens
A massive leak of documents exposes the offshore holdings of 12 current and former world leaders and reveals how associates of Russian President Vladimir Putin secretly shuffled as much as $2 billion through banks and shadow companies.
The leak also provides details of the hidden financial dealings of 128 more politicians and public officials around the world.
They also include at least 33 people and companies blacklisted by the U.S. government because of evidence that they’d been involved in wrongdoing, such as doing business with Mexican drug lords, terrorist organizations like Hezbollah or rogue nations like North Korea and Iran.

I got bored and started skimming it, but they really didn't name names that mean much here, that I saw. Trump and Hillary on the list would be nice. :whistling:

Given the rest of the released list, I would think it's almost a certainty that at least one Clinton is on that list. Trump being there would just be a bonus.

According to the above wiki page link, Hillary Clinton is on the list and the only name at all from the United States.

I didn't see her name on that page.

I didn't see her name on that page.
Just search for United States:
United States
Hillary Rodham Clinton, Unites States Presidential Candidate[1]
Other than an ambassador from Zambia, its the only time United States appears on the list. At least on the wiki page.

I didn't see her name on that page.
You know what, it's gone after I refreshed the page. I wonder if it is some wiki-troll? At any rate, I wish I had screen shotted prior to refreshing.
-
Yeah, I got hoaxed by the wiki page. When I went back and looked at the Panama Papers page the United States doesn't even appear on their list. Unless they had it up there and then took it down. At least with Wiki you can still see it in the history.

I had the feeling when I posted this that some folks (not here) would poo-poo the report because none of our corrupt politicians were on it.
I also had a feeling that all we had to do was ... wait. :whistling:
The Daily Caller says there's Hillary links....

Kind of odd that Blumenthal and Podesta are the only two Americans listed that haven't already been convicted of crimes. :tinfoil2:

Panama Papers reveal George Soros' deep money ties to secretive weapons, intel investment firm
http://www.foxnews.com/world/2016/05/16/panama-papers-reveal-george-soros-deep-money-ties-to-secretive-weapons-intel-firm.html?intcmp=hpbt1
Billionaire George Soros, who has spent millions of dollars financing Democrats and left-wing causes, used a controversial Panamanian law firm to establish a web of offshore investment partnerships that operate around the world and out of the scrutiny of U.S. regulators, according to leaked documents.
The so-called Panama Papers, a trove of 11.5 million financial documents tracing the Mossack Fonseca law firm’s efforts to help politicians, celebrities and criminals shield their money from taxes, contain links to Soros, who funds the journalism group that is disseminating the information. So far, the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) has been silent on its benefactor’s ties to the law firm.
Three offshore investment vehicles controlled by Soros are catalogued in the Panama Papers. Soros Finance, Inc. was incorporated in Panama; Soros Holdings Limited was set up in the British Virgin Islands and a limited partnership called Soros Capital was created in Bermuda.
George Soros has some explaining to do.
