One of the most major bitcoin holders, that is in possession of at least 100k BTC, was part of the leak. Li Xiaolai was an early miner and investor, one of the first known bitcoin millionaires.

The more you look into it, the more bitcoin-related figures you'll find being part of the leaks. Shrem and Voorhees are both there.

The Panama papers really do show just how complicated and dodgy the world of finance is.

I find it hard to believe that some of these very clever people who are hiding money all around the wolrd to avoid paying taxes on it haven't looked at Bitcoin and at least researched the technology.

How are they going to track someone's money if it is moved into Bitcoin and hidden?

It's hard to pitch Bitcoin considering it's volatility and inherent risk.
Also "avoiding taxes" isn't always illegal, just morally ambiguous. Why would you risk your assets in this case?

You have to remember that most exchangers require more active users to be registrated
with full name etc. Balances/tranactions above fixed amount, like 15Keuro needs to be identified
under international antiterrorism acts...
Only way is to buy BTC personally but how safe that would be?
I have done in-person transactions for BTC before and it went fine.

Tangent: Interestingly enough, have found two people I previously worked with in the database. Could be an interesting few months.

The crazy thing is that setting up a shell company is not illegal, at least for the most part of it.
The true is that sometimes these shell companies can prove useful to circumvent financial regulation, so people abuse and profit from this.
Let's see what else is uncovered.

A interesting dynamic in who is behind this group.
The media told the viewers to help them look through these files for links due to the extentsive amount involved.
Did we really think we would get full on access?
The cover ups will continue as more people get properly positioned.

Today the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ -- it is still not clear how these guys are being funded)

They're funded by several non-profits. The major ones are Ford Foundation, Carnegie Endowment, Rockefeller Family Fund, George Soros' Open Society Foundation.

I don't want to go full on conspiracy theorist, but I can honestly believe the ICIJ striking some of the stories based on who is in them.

Journalists also have vested interests. So it is possible that some names were kept under wraps when the original disclosures took place.
Now we will truly have a crowd-sourced, open investigation.

Today the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ -- it is still not clear how these guys are being funded) released information (online accessible database) on 214,000 "offshore entities", many of them from other places (Nevada (Rothschild's offshore service HQ in the USA), Hong Kong, etc.).

Some information will NOT be released now, including passport page photos, etc.

(Armstrong wonders why the ICIJ did not release any information on the Clintons and their friends)
