I am "hoping" to see US clients exposed. But even if they are, I expect a big "meh" from any authority that could do anything about it. It's easier to chase resourceless drug users and scientific publication "pirates."
Wow. I actually did 'forget' this. Actually I don't think I ever heard of it. I see lots of articles about The Guardian being under pressure, but haven't found one confirming they actually "smashed" them. I haven't been looking that long, so would welcome any pointers.
It's probably worth noting that the author (Craig Murray) is no apologist for non-Western dictators. He was the former UK ambassador to Uzbekistan until he decided that boiling people alive wasn't an interrogation method he believed a supposed UK ally should be using[1]. As such his views shouldn't be dismissed out-of-hand. I think it is worth noting that the data isn't available yet. I'm sympathetic to the view that…
I wouldn't be surprised when the impression of most observing or commenting the case would assume "if somebody is not found here he's clean" instead of "this is a (possibly very biased) subselection of some people from all who possibly attempt to obscure something using similar methods."
> Never forget the Guardian smashed its copies of the Snowden files on the instruction of MI6. Wow. I actually did 'forget' this. Actually I don't think I ever heard of it.

This prompted the Guardian to move it's head office to New York - leaving the UK after 195 years.
A better illustration of the UK freedom of the press could not be devised. /s
Interestingly the Guardian article notes they specifically destroyed particular chips, like the keyboard drivers...

That article is bullshit. Yes, we can't access the raw data - true, but understandable. The editor in-chief of the SZ says they are still working on it and will expose more and more "in waves", often getting statements from the accused before or sharing it with law enforcement agencies. And no, they didn't focus on Russia or Assad, one of the main revelations was that three members of Iceland's government (PM, financ…
Dude, you literally just proved his point: Expect hits at Russia, Iran and Syria and some tiny “balancing” western country like Iceland. A superannuated UK peer or two will be sacrificed – someone already with dementia. So far the revelations have indeed been "enemies of the West", ie. Russia, etc., Iceland, and some ancient Tory MPs and David Cameron's dead father. Seems to me he called it pretty on the nose.
He has inherited the Blairmore profits amongst the very considerable estate.
Questions ought to be asked in parliament.

The same thing for Unaoil scandal, it's not being covered by the media
This will hit wiki leaks. These news outlets won't be able to keep Anonymous and others out. The world will know.
Here's a map showing all entities mentioned in the Panama Papers. TONS in the west, including the US. https://briankilmartin.cartodb.com/viz/54ddb5c0-f80e-11e5-9a...
Where is your link from? Isn't that map based on the 2014 leaked data?
