The biggest story here for me is I look forward to grepping my name and seeing how many of my bank bonus chasing activities/etc have generated SARs. I guess everyone else will get to see that too. For more interesting/famous people than myself it’s a terrible breach of privacy. There could be lots of interesting stuff in this leak but like you, I very much doubt it will expose much corrupt activity.
