The leaking of ‘Panama papers’ in 2016, then the ‘Paradise papers’ the following year exposed the secret offshore affairs, secret deals and hidden assets of the rich and powerful. Well, this time it’s even bigger with the ‘Pandora papers’ (they do like their P’s) being is the biggest leak yet.
The files were leaked to the ICIJ (International Consortium of Investigative Journalists) in Washington, and consist of emails, memos, incorporation records, share certificates, compliance reports and complex diagrams explaining how these shady corporate structures work.

Dear Vlad:
It should come as no surprise to you that we have quite credible information as to
How wealthy you are
Where your wealth is stored
How you acquired that wealth.
We even have the floor plan of your sumptuous villa in Crimea.
The above likely are of interest to your citizens, who might be quite curious.
We are willing to leave it between you and them IF we can have some meaningful dialogues as to
Ukraine
Nuclear Weapons stand down for Russia and us
global warming
Give me a jingle
