Should we expect a right to “privacy” w/r/t a large-scale international conspiracy to support money laundering, tax evasion, bribery, embezzlement of poor countries’ budgets, illegal arms deals, and the like?
This seems substantially different than breaching attorney–client privilege. Unless the attorneys involved were actively helping their clients to plot ongoing or future crimes, in which case I say haul the bastards in.
There might be isolated rich people who did nothing strictly unethical or unlawful, and get caught up in scandal by the mere appearance of shady dealings. I can’t bring myself to feel too deeply sorry for them though. Nobody forced them to park their money in secret offshore banks famous for extralegal activity.
