Who Has All Those Offshore Accounts?

For years we have heard about folk using offshore accounts, legally and illegally to hide the assets. It is fun to speculate as to who has these accounts with visions of the filthy rich immorally avoiding taxes, the scurrilous bastards. And, being country centric we think of these people as mostly American moguls using these accounts. But the question was, who are they?

Now we know. The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) has found out to the tune of 2.5 million files dealing with 120,000 offshore accounts. Wow!!! We have their names and they are international; Americans, Russians, Greeks, Indonesians, you name it. Ah, blatant immorality is not limited to the Running Dog Capitalists Pigs of America.

The Huffington Post has an article on this today, which is huge. I suggest you go read it rather than reading my take. Look here.
