Remember when the Panama Papers came out and absolutely nothing happened?
On the plus side, exploitation of the system by the richest has been going on for millennia, the only difference is that today more people are aware of it.
- arethuza 7y agoThat's not quite true - a lot of stuff happened see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panama_Papers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panama_Papers Also, Mossack Fonseca was shut down. Mind you - nothing happened to the basic approach of offshore shell companies - which is the real problem.

- ccvannorman 7y agoOh my gosh, this is AMAZING! I was wrong, and thank you for this correction. Hope in humanity restored, a little bit.

- tasogare 7y agoNo, scriptural money and globalization are big differences too. Not too long ago it would have been easy to physically steal rich people, now it requires far more organization.
- Cthulhu_ 7y agoNot true; 1.2 billion has already been recovered, and there's still investigations ongoing - and likely will be for years to come still. Just because it's not on HN doesn't mean it's not happening.
