            “An hero” is an old 4chan meme that is referring to a child who killed himself. There was an old MySpace memorial page made for a kid who shot himself. Someone posted a long comment that started with “He was such an hero to take it all away.” It continued to call him “an hero” several more times.

            Instead of telling someone “kys” when they made a bad post, you’d tell them to become an hero.

    This is going to be another Panama files isn’t it? Overwhelming evidence that billionaires are shits and world governments everywhere collectively do fuck all about it.

        From your links:

        Von der Goltz pleaded guilty in December 2019 to conspiracy to commit tax evasion, fraud and submitting false documents. He has already repaid the government more than $230,000.

        Original indictment:

        These shell companies and bank accounts made investments totaling tens of millions of dollars.

        Make it make sense

        “Not world changing” is insulting for the amount of money these people hid to avoid taxes.

          Yeah can’t make sense of your last comment, or maybe you misunderstood something?

          I’m saying the impact of Panama paper surely wasn’t instant-world-changing that you might wish for, the world simply doesn’t work that way. Researches, investigations, lawsuits, trails, laws and legislation tooks years or even decades to conclude.

          Joking about nothing has been done after Panama paper every time everywhere the topic came up over and over and over again is tiring and insulting to the hard working people around the world fighting against corruptions and billionaires FOR YOU every day every night.

            Researches, investigations, lawsuits, trails, laws and legislation tooks years or even decades to conclude.

            After FTX imploded, Sam Bankman Fried was indicted within weeks and in prison within months. The Enron investigation and indictments came down four years after the company officially filed bankruptcy in December of 2001.

            To claim prosecutions under the Panama Papers (or the Trump indictments or the Sackler oxycotin scandal or the Epstein case dismissal or the SEC investigations into Tesla or any number of other endlessly delayed prosecutions) required decades to wrap up only illustrates a deliberate attempt by domestic governments to slow roll and bury investigations that prosecutors had no personal interest in pursuing.

            Joking about nothing has been done after Panama paper every time everywhere the topic came up over and over and over again is tiring and insulting

            Ramón Fonseca Mora, the central figure behind Mossack Fonseca, was let out on bail a few months after his arrest and remained unconvicted until his death. How is that not a joke to you?

              Because that’s not what I said at all?

              Of course there are far too many frustrating cases than we wish for but still

              “Joking about NOTHING has been done after Panama paper every time everywhere the topic came up over and over and over again is tiring and insulting to the hard working people around the world fighting against corruptions and billionaires FOR YOU every day every night.”

              Maybe instead of whining about Panama paper doesn’t do as much as one can fantasies, read the report I linked again, focus on what has been done, and pay some respect to the people fighting for you this time?

    Found this on hacker news, some people there say this data dump is total bs and for the news page itself: It’s an article from an Indian right wing conspiracy news website. Check out their other hard hitting journalism: https://archive.ph/8RGAb"

      The screenshot of files looks like an troll. I can’t believe nobody is pointing this out.

      I mean really. Who even names folders like that.
