Panama Papers

Recommended Posts

from your article ...

 

 

at least one observer, Craig Murray, a former British diplomat, has suggested that the journalists investigating the leak may be overemphasizing the role of non-Western figures, such as Putin and Assad. “What if they did Mossack Fonseca searches on every listed company in the western stock exchanges, and on every western millionaire they could trace?” Murray wrote in a blog post on Monday. “That would be much more interesting. I know Russia and China are corrupt, you don’t have to tell me that.”

 

to which is say .... duh !!! politically motivated "find the enemy, but hide your own"

yeah ... why germany ? luck of the draw, or something else

 

and if , as you say , "They choose what they want to disclose and put their spin on it." ... IF its true ...the number of terabytes would be a shit load more ... considering what has been leaked, the possibility of the idea that more is hidden, and that just from panama, is quite frankly terrifying

 

any volunteers for some leaks from the other "partners in crime", aka so called legitimate tax havens ? you know .... maybe for example Luxembourg, etc ?

you would be very surprised.... i mean rich countries have extensive money laundering regulations, so its doubtful that the "missing trillions" are actually there, in the rich ones. on the other hand, there are an awful lot of "investments" being made in the rich countries, (and elsewhere) ...and the source ...you guessed it .... the tax havens and their dummy corporations

but you did prompt me to ask myself .... how much money is there hidden in the tax havens

 

so i did my goggle thing and ....

 

'The Hidden Wealth Of Nations' Author Explores World Of Offshore Tax Havens

 

 

NPR's Ari Shapiro talks with Gabriel Zucman, author of The Hidden Wealth of Nations, about the leaked Panama papers and what they say about the practice of hiding money offshore worldwide. He's estimated that up to 8 percent of the world's financial wealth is hidden away.

 

so i now wonder (because one has to) how true is his guesstimates ? under- or over- estimating?

and since you are, i presume, in canada ....

 

How offshore banking is costing Canada billions of dollars a year

that translate to outright theft from the state that could be funneled into social services, ie... the people ... who are subsequently forced to pay even more taxes than they should, just to keep those social services and others , like i dont know ...roads  building and maintenance, medical,  unemployment, etc etc etc

 

which is EXACTLY why i didnt distinguish between criminal money and tax evasion

a ) nobody said anything about tax avoidance

 

b ) since tax avoidance is not a crime, how can it be prosecuted ?

 

c ) do you honestly think that tax havens is about tax avoidance? seriously? its to hide money. pure and simple, no matter how lawyers might want to sugar coat it, while jumping in and out of loop-holes

3 ) (2) constantly use (1) to make tax evasion look like "legal" tax avoidance
