Panama Papers: Macri Implicated in Offshore Tax Haven Scandal
What the story is about is the nebulous world of offshore tax evasion and tax havens, which based on data from the World Bank, IMF, UN, and central banks, hide between $21 and $32 trillion, where registered incorporation agents and law firms in small Caribbean countries (and not so small US states) make the laundering of money and the "disappearance" of the super wealthy, into untracable numbers hidden behind shell companies, possible.
So, in order to learn some more about the real star of this story, the Panamanian lawfirm of Mossack Fonseca, we went to Fusion which has compiled a fascinating story of the company's history, founders, and key milestone events in its life.Zero Hedge

Can MMT not use this Panama papers thing to our own advantage. To show even more clearly that taxes don't fund government spending ?
ReplyDeleteMofA taught me to get into the habit of asking "Cui Bono?" So when I heard about the alleged "blockbuster" leak, I asked myself "who benefits from this leak that seems to point fingers at Putin?"
ReplyDeleteDespite the hype, so far very little new information has emerged from the leak. Rich people hid money offshore? You don't say! Panama is a center for money laundering? Tell me something new!
I wonder what that Icelandic politician did to piss off the CIA? Let's see, his Progressive party is firmly opposed to joining the EU, while the other Iceland parties favor joining the EU. So if the Progressives lose power due to this scandal, the chances of Iceland joining the EU would increase. Hmmmmm ....
