Why isn’t Tumblr freaking out about the biggest leak in history?

The Panama Papers are information that has the potential to change the world and this story broke over 2 hours ago now. Putin might go to prison. Same with the Saudi-Arabian king Salman ibn Abd al-Asis, the Ukranian president Petro Poroschenko, the former Georgian prime minister Bidsina Iwanischwili, the Argentinian president Mauricio Macri, a quarter of the Icelandic cabinet, 11 other world leaders, and ‘best soccer player of all time’ Lionel Messi.

This is 2.6 terabytes of leaked data about tax evasion and off-shore companies, drug trade, etc etc etc. Remember Wikileaks? That was huge, right? The Panama Papers dwarf the 1.7GB of data we got out of that.

THE VIDEO

Just watch it. Think about it. Talk about it. This is real journalism and probably the biggest scandal of our lifetimes.

Here’s the actual documents that have been released so far since nobody thought to post it. It’s a bit overloaded at the moment due to traffic so keep trying if you can’t get through the first time. Nothing incredibly shocking right now imo but take a look for yourselves if you’re interested.

heavy content warning on the video for rape, human trafficking, pedophilia

ok because i can’t understand ANY of this right now, someone tell me what is going on about this and why it should be important, please, because i cant process this right now

An absolutely ENORMOUS amount of leaked data from a Panamanian law firm that was helping very wealthy and powerful organizations and people all over the world hide all sorts of illegal activity has been released. It was being reviewed by hundreds of journalists over the last year, and it has tons of damning stuff in it that implicates a lot of powerful people in major wrongdoings.
