There are legitimate uses for offshore companies and trusts. We do not intend to suggest or imply that any people, companies or other entities included in the ICIJ Offshore Leaks Database have broken the law or otherwise acted improperly. Many people and entities have the same or similar names. We suggest you confirm the identities of any individuals or entities located in the database based on addresses or other identifiable information. If you find an error in the database please get in touch with us.
So its not even allegations of illegality but they just went around stealing people's information?

About the Paradise Papers Investigation
The Paradise Papers is a global investigation into the offshore activities of some of the world’s most powerful people and companies.
The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists and 95 media partners explored 13.4 million leaked files from a combination of offshore service providers and the company registries of some of the world’s most secretive countries.
The files were obtained by the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung
The Paradise Papers documents include nearly 7 million loan agreements, financial statements, emails, trust deeds and other paperwork from nearly 50 years at Appleby, a leading offshore law firm with offices in Bermuda and beyond
The documents also include files from a smaller, family-owned trust company, Asiaciti, and from company registries in 19 secrecy jurisdictions. The records range from complex, 100-page corporate transaction sheets and dollar-by-dollar payment ledgers to simple corporate registries of countries, such as Antigua & Barbuda, that do not publicly list names of company shareholders or directors.
As a whole, the Paradise Papers files expose offshore holdings of political leaders and their financiers as well as household-name companies that slash taxes through transactions conducted in secret. Financial deals of billionaires and celebrities are also revealed in the documents.
The Paradise Papers files include far more information about U.S. citizens, residents and companies than previous ICIJ investigations – at least 31,000 of them
ICIJ collab. w more than 380 journalists working on 6 continents in 30 languages. Many team members spent a year using online platforms to communicate and to share documents. Journalists tracked down court records, obtained financial disclosures of politicians in Africa, Europe, and Latin and North America, filed freedom of information requests and conducted hundreds of interviews with tax experts, policymakers and industry insiders

Levi Young
The project has been called the Paradise Papers. It reveals:
Millions of pounds from the Queen’s private estate has been invested in a Cayman Islands fund – and some of her money went to a retailer accused of exploiting poor families and vulnerable people.
Extensive offshore dealings by Donald Trump’s cabinet members, advisers and donors, including substantial payments from a firm co-owned by Vladimir Putin’s son-in-law to the shipping group of the US commerce secretary, Wilbur Ross.
How Twitter and Facebook received hundreds of millions of dollars in investments that can be traced back to Russian state financial institutions.
The tax-avoiding Cayman Islands trust managed by the Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau’s chief moneyman.
A previously unknown $450m offshore trust that has sheltered the wealth of Lord Ashcroft.
Aggressive tax avoidance by multinational corporations, including Nike and Apple.
How some of the biggest names in the film and TV industries protect their wealth with an array of offshore schemes.
The billions in tax refunds by the Isle of Man and Malta to the owners of private jets and luxury yachts.
The secret loan and alliance used by the London-listed multinational Glencore in its efforts to secure lucrative mining rights in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
The complex offshore webs used by two Russian billionaires to buy stakes in Arsenal and Everton football clubs.
Anthony Allen
It will likely be more intense because the Panama papers were simply just too much information and there was no drama at the time.
The information in the Paradise Papers comes at a time when a lot of the US government officials are under investigation for corruption, laundering and collusion.
Ian Garcia
The purpose you ask?
"
The disclosures will put pressure on world leaders, including Trump and the British prime minister, Theresa May, who have both pledged to curb aggressive tax avoidance schemes.
The publication of this investigation, for which more than 380 journalists have spent a year combing through data that stretches back 70 years, comes at a time of growing global income inequality.

Big. Leading story here on the CBC, talking about elites hiding money offshore. Actually surprised it's being reported, desu. Perhaps the tide really is turning.
Ian Cook
Alternative summary you wanted? Ok, granted.
What are the Paradise Papers and what do they tell us?
The leak of 13.4m documents shows the scale of the offshore empire and involves everyone from the Queen to Facebook
What are the Paradise Papers?
The name refers to a leak of 13.4m files. Most of the documents – 6.8m – relate to a law firm and corporate services provider that operated together in 10 jurisdictions under the name Appleby. Last year, the “fiduciary” arm of the business was the subject of a management buyout and it is now called Estera.
Money flows into the offshore world from everywhere. It's often very hard to identify the people and companies behind it.
Companies registered offshore can be used to hold assets such as property, aircraft, yachts and investments in stocks and shares.

Those panama papers sure lead to tons of charges, huh
Lmao
Brandon Gonzalez
I'll be honest, I don't really understand if those papers revealed some actual crimes or if it's just about some smart tricks to legally save on taxes. However since most articles are vaguely pointing out some "russian connections", like if it would be somehow odd for a business man to have international connections, I guess it is literally fucking nothing.
Grayson Reyes
>all offshore accounts involve evading taxes.
First, even the journalists themselves state that there is nothing inherently illegal about the accounts. Second, the bigger something like this is, the fewer people will go to jail for it.
It will take a while to go through all of it and find any possible criminal connections. As of yet, there is nothing.
Benjamin Brown
Yeah that's completely true. And it should give Trump more power to enact his reforms that are focused on offshore tax avoidance. It's actually pretty interesting that this came out right as Trumps money repatriation tax reform bill was proposed actually.
If he's smart, he will push to have a stronger avoidance penalty added and use that to force the Dems to pass it.
Carson Kelly
Its good to let the public build a worse picture of the elite.
Ayden Sanders
The disclaimer means nothing. It's the equivalent of saying someone is under arrest but they haven't been convicted of a crime yet.
The ICIJ aren't law enforcement /prosecutors and can not legally allege a crime has occurred.
They are journalists who's sole purpose for this task is to report their findings of the Appleby leaks.

Charles Ross
What was the immediate fallout?
The first casualty was the Prime Minister of Iceland, Sigmundur Gunnlaugsson, who resigned only days after the leaks showed he and his wife owned an offshore company that he had not declared on entering parliament.
Other world leaders, including Russian President Vladimir Putin and Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, addressed their countries to denounce the leaks and any allegations of being linked to money laundering.
In the UK, it caused political embarrassment for then-Prime Minister David Cameron, who admitted that his family had benefited from a legal offshore fund set up by his late father, Ian.
Authorities in the US and countries in Europe and Asia launched investigations into whether their rules were breached by those named in the leak.
Through it all, Mossack Fonseca has maintained it operates beyond reproach and has never been charged with wrongdoing.

How the Panama Papers Changed Pakistani Politics
The Pakistani Supreme Court’s decision to dismiss Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was based on corruption accusations stemming from the Panama Papers, a trove of leaked documents from the Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca.
The ruling is one of the most stunning outcomes of the documents’ release, which implicated dozens of politicians and powerful international figures in shady offshore business dealings. Mr. Sharif is the second world leader, along with Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson, the former prime minister of Iceland, to resign as a result of the leak.

Ryder Carter
I guess I'm not the kind of guy who expects people to just pay taxes out of good will when there are perfectly legal possibilities to avoid them. I would imagine it can't hurt to pressure politicians to think up stricter tax laws, but to some extent what can you do in an international world. If there is a country in the world with almost no taxes, why shouldn't I be able to just built up my company there, even if I operate from my country of origin. No tax law will ever be able to avoid this, protectionist border laws would though.
