Amazing that more arrests and indictments have notcome out of this.

What was the scandal

reply

The papers were a leak from a law firm in Panama that had dirt on illegal tax shelters and straw corporations of the world’s super rich. A team of 100 international journalists used the info to uncover a web of how the super rich hoard and hide their wealth.

Were laws broken?

Yes. Read the OP’s link. Creating fake companies to siphon earnings to banks in countries with no reporting requirements is an illegal tax evasion scheme.

Anyone convictable?

reply

Courts take time, but were getting there. Heres some info on those convicted so far:
