The thing is, there are no ingenuious schemes. Offshore companies are just a tool everybody knows about. For a wealthy 1% having an offshore company is just a norm. Or several of them, for that matter. And our everyday discourse is defined by those 1%. Jeff Besos owns The Washington Post, for damn sake.

That's not to condone this activity, it's just that I'm surprised anyone thinks the response would be otherwise. We know about this stuff already in general, this is just specifics and as the guardian points out it's not as if all this in even necessarily illegal. We just need to push harder to shut down these loopholes.
