azatoth Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 I don't know more than that, but that's how Cameron is connected. But please, I am sure Cameron has his own arrangements, he's just using another one of the other firms to weasel away money.

Silent Member Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 (edited) It may be legal, but some of us consider it highly immoral. Like most of what goes down in the wonderful world of global finance. Honestly, we all knew about this sort of thing before they blew the lid on this particular law firm didn't we? There are countless more, as far as I can tell it's how things are done. But it's nice to know who does what anyway. Question: Is it possible to be filthy rich but not morally bankrupt?

LimpyLoo Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 (edited) The pro-Putin, pro-Snowden journalists (I won't mention any names, but...) are having trouble dealing with their current cognitive-dissonance...they're either ignoring Putin's being implicated or calling it Cold War Paranoia 2: Electric Boogaloo on the part of the West If you're gonna be pro-Putin, at least concede his flaws, right? Like, his treatment of journalists, LGBT, rigging elections, freedom of speech, and on and on for days....you should't call yourself a journalist if you can't even get the easy stuff right Edited April 8, 2016 by LimpyLoo Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/90384-panama-papers/page/5/#findComment-2435102 Share on other sites More sharing options...
