  This is an overly cynical and more importantly, verifiably wrong take https://www.icij.org/investigations/panama-papers/20161201-global-impact/ https://www.icij.org/investigations/panama-papers/20161201-g... Rant: Lazy cynicism like this does real harm, it stochastically propagates the idea that everything is shit, we can't fix anything and the only chance is to burn it all down ans start from zero. Which primes easy marks for revelation vendors like Trump, crypto etc.

  Not sure if your goal is just to discredit and discourage whistleblowers, but it’s simply not true the Panama Papers had zero influence on tax evasion. More than a billion dollars have already been recovered and remitted, good amount of indictments, lots of political backlash at various levels. If you have the ability to bring justice to the world, you should do it, even if the results are unlikely to be as significant as they should be.
