Huge Panama Papers search database goes public Monday

[icarusfoundyou]

[quote]On Monday, people everywhere will be able to see for themselves which politicians, celebrities and business executives allegedly kept secret shell companies that were exposed in the Panama Papers.
A Google-like searchable database is expected to go live at 2 p.m. ET, detailing ties between 368,000 people and 300,000 offshore entities.
It's being released by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists.[/quote]

[quote]But it won't be easy for the average person to draw connections between firms and individuals because ICIJ said it won't release the actual documents showing a person's wealth or details of contracts.
"This is not disclosing private information en masse," Guevara said.
ICIJ is conducting itself differently than Wikileaks, which posts many of the documents it obtains, such as diplomatic cables showing Americans spied on United Nations leaders, or video evidence of the U.S. military gunning down journalists and Iraqi civilians.[/quote]

The papers release in 12 hours time.
Will be interesting to see because our prime minister John Key has been the only PM to be named in it so far iirc.

Definitely a better way to release it than mass-dropping private financial files into the wild. You're able to implicate those involved without them being able to pit you as criminals for releasing private info. Smart, plus easier to search through.

More will come.
