Just saying:)

The international bankster institution opened a trust company in Reno, Nevada. “It is now moving the fortunes of wealthy foreign clients out of offshore havens such as Bermuda, subject to the new international disclosure requirements, and into Rothschild-run trusts in Nevada, which are exempt,” Bloomberg reports. The United States “is effectively the biggest tax haven in the world,” boasted Andrew Penny of Rothschild. One of the world’s largest providers of offshore accounts, Trident Trust, opened an office in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
The financial elite will gladly sacrifice Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson, the prime minister of Iceland, and even the family of David Cameron, to get at Vladimir Putin.

The week isn't yet over & the amount of back pedalling is funny to see...

Cameron had stake in father's offshore funds

...beginning to think Glenn is right, there must have been a leak somewhere...

...ICIJ had those papers for 12 months, YET during that time Cameron...

...Banned bearer shares in the UK & reduced corporation from 20% to 17% (effective from 2017)...

...too much of a coincidence!

It would appear the 'Universal Solvent', no matter the form of government or economic philosophy, is, has always been, and always will be......GREED.

Amazing report.

How to tackle 11m documents

By sharing - rather than scooping - they created the biggest story about tax havens the world has ever seen.

If they keep to that in the future, crooks & politicians beware :-)

What did he say on Tuesday? "I have no shares in offshore trusts"

Wednesday we see "No future gains from offshore trusts".

Thursday...

Cameron stepped in to shield offshore trusts

...so what can we expect on Friday :-)

An appropriate time for his wife to divorce him. Would he get his hands back on those shares in any settlement? :-)

Actually, the Clinton's probably don't have an 'offshore' account or shell corporation, it would be redundant.........after all they do have the 'foundation' to hide foreign funds and use to evade taxes.

PM accused of "Hypocrisy"

SNP economy spokesman Stewart Hosie MP described it as "an astounding revelation by a prime minister who has questioned the morality of using such tax-avoiding schemes".

If he doesn't stand down now, it'll only confirm the type of man we have as Prime Minister.

In this, Mossack Fonseca's role in fight over painting stolen by Nazis, at the moment "owned" by Helly Nahmad and his family. Billionaire US art dealer Hillel “Helly” Nahmad, admits to running $100m global gambling ring

Helly Nahmad owns and lives on the 51st floor of Trump Tower in New York, where he conducted his gambling ring.

Obviously Donald will deny knowing this person, but would you believe him?

Find an accountant that has an ex-tax inspector on the staff. Is my solution.

Or even better. Being friends and colleagues with tax high executives.
Swedish Tax Agency's second top manager tried to warn the former cabinet secretary and former government colleague Frank Belfrage about Swedish televison "Mission Audit" examined his foreign assets. The decision was anchored in the Tax Agency's Director General - former colleague with Belfrage.
