This isn't getting much coverage here in the States, though I suspect it will as time goes on.

Panama Papers - tax havens of the rich and powerful exposed

Eleven million documents held by the Panama-based law firm Mossack Fonseca have been ****** to German newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung, which then shared them with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists. BBC Panorama is among 107 media organisations - including UK newspaper the Guardian - in 76 countries which have been analysing the documents. The BBC doesn't know the identity of the source

They show how the company has helped clients launder money, dodge sanctions and evade tax

Mossack Fonseca says it has operated beyond reproach for 40 years and never been accused or charged with criminal wrong-doing

This leak has already caused the leader of Iceland to resign, and implicated quite a few other members of other governments. I so hope the corrupt members of our political system made use of this companies services. Not to mention the corrupt corporations, and rich jack asses who launder money to avoid paying taxes.

From the sounds it the news agencies have barely scratched the surface. This one has the potential to expose lots of powerful people. Unfortunately if enough powerful people are caught up in this then I doubt very few prison sentences will result, and the ones that do will just get a week in some cushy jail.

I so enjoy when the corrupt members of the rich and powerful are caught:
