Panama Papers

Not every person named will know what they were doing and just because someone has an offshore account doesn't make it illegal. You can setup estate tax accounts as well as many other reasons to have an offshore account with it being legal. A lot of people trust financial advisers to take care of them, sometimes they are good, sometimes not. They can fool a lot of people if the word of mouth game starts going.

I will wait to see HSBC primarily get hammered for this (guess). My guess is that they will be the main culprit for setting up accounts which will be found as not having legal grounds. UBS/CSFB do this a lot I will be interested in their clientele as well.
 
Panama's always been a major trans-shipment point for US-bound drugs, illegal immigrants, a money-laundering center for narc revenue. And every other kind of revenue. Everybody has spies in Panama, especially the PRC. Want to plot a revolution? Go to Panama. Colon is a free-trade zone. Panama City has all the luxury and decadence any fatcat, drug dealer, or crooked politician could want. None of this is really surprising, much of it has been there to see open-source over the years, if you cared to delve into it.

The Chinese company, Hutchinson-Wampoa, owns the former Rodman Naval Station and many of the docks at both ends of the Canal, and all Chinese companies come equipped with healthy doses of government supervision and control. The Russian mafia and Chinese Triads are there. It's one of the most important strategic points in the world, for anybody moving anything, legal or otherwise.

Is anyone surprised?

No.
BTW, the US presence still exists, most notably in the drug interdiction effort, and in other areas of agreement, but IMV we should never have given up our stake in the PCZ...and we should still have Ft Sherman.

The gist of all this is that everything going on in Panama--drug and human trafficking, gun running, tax shelters, off-shore accounts, financing of revolutionary groups, stock market deals, bribery, real estate, sex slavery, politics, MS-13, the Cartels, espionage, protection, extortion, supposedly legitimate interests, rail and shipping routes--everything is inextricably interconnected, strip away all the veneers and whether or not they realize it, everybody's in the same bed, everybody's trying move, hide or launder money.

COSCO has expanded into suspected participation in smuggling weapons drugs and illegal aliens. Both these companies help fund the People's Liberation Army...and there are rumors the PLAs intelligence service is doing what it can to assist various participants in the drug assault on the US.

That may be true, but I prefer their deals over the other place. The deli is most assuredly better though parking at the one near my house is a little tight. Best to go on a weekday if you can.
 
Ohboyohboyohboy! Harry Reid's pucker factor may have just broken the Oh-Shit-O-Meter. Fingers crossed.
The corporate records of 1,000-plus Nevada business entities linked to the Panamanian law firm reveal layers of secretive ownership, with few having humans' names behind them, and most tracing back to a tiny number of overseas addresses from Bangkok high rises to post offices on tiny island nations. Only 100 of the Nevada-born corporations have officers with addresses in this country: 90 in Nevada, nine in Florida and one in Delaware.
