A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I give Anonymous credit on one thing: they're always punching upwards.
There's a twitter thread. An account named 'Anonymous France' has posted this link : https://www.mediafire.com/file/9prdor8m7a1z9f6/Leaked+Data+of+corrupt+officials.rar/file . Cannot verify the veracity of this information, but there was a r/worldnews thread saying that's its mostly worthless. This news site is known for peddling fake news, so it might be a whole lot of nonsense.
How is this obvious AI slop getting upvoted so much?
After the Panama Papers and similar leaks, people are ready to believe some kind of anonymous hacker collective is still out there investigating and releasing information. So they'll jump on the headline, because it resonates with their memories of historical incidents. They won't interrogate it, because they're not in the position to sift fact from fiction.
This is one of the problems with Upvote-based news aggregators to begin with. You're asking people to make evaluations of an article's interest at the headline level, rather than relying on editors and ombudsmen to sift out what information is both credible and interesting to a wide audience.
Where can I find these files? Not doing x
Fake as hell, from an immensely disreputable site. What in the hell is this still doing here?
Day late and dollar short. That info serves no purpose in today's environment
This is going to be another Panama files isn't it? Overwhelming evidence that billionaires are shits and world governments everywhere collectively do fuck all about it.
Can people just stop spreading this demoralizing nonsense? Maybe it's not instant-world-changing, but it's definitely not "fuck all" either.
From your links:
Von der Goltz pleaded guilty in December 2019 to conspiracy to commit tax evasion, fraud and submitting false documents. He has already repaid the government more than $230,000.
Original indictment:
These shell companies and bank accounts made investments totaling tens of millions of dollars.
Make it make sense
"Not world changing" is insulting for the amount of money these people hid to avoid taxes.
Yeah can't make sense of your last comment, or maybe you misunderstood something?
I'm saying the impact of Panama paper surely wasn't instant-world-changing that you might wish for, the world simply doesn't work that way. Researches, investigations, lawsuits, trails, laws and legislation tooks years or even decades to conclude.
Joking about nothing has been done after Panama paper every time everywhere the topic came up over and over and over again is tiring and insulting to the hard working people around the world fighting against corruptions and billionaires FOR YOU every day every night.

After FTX imploded, Sam Bankman Fried was indicted within weeks and in prison within months. The Enron investigation and indictments came down four years after the company officially filed bankruptcy in December of 2001.
To claim prosecutions under the Panama Papers (or the Trump indictments or the Sackler oxycotin scandal or the Epstein case dismissal or the SEC investigations into Tesla or any number of other endlessly delayed prosecutions) required decades to wrap up only illustrates a deliberate attempt by domestic governments to slow roll and bury investigations that prosecutors had no personal interest in pursuing.

Ramón Fonseca Mora, the central figure behind Mossack Fonseca, was let out on bail a few months after his arrest and remained unconvicted until his death. How is that not a joke to you?
Because that's not what I said at all?
Of course there are far too many frustrating cases than we wish for but still
"Joking about NOTHING has been done after Panama paper every time everywhere the topic came up over and over and over again is tiring and insulting to the hard working people around the world fighting against corruptions and billionaires FOR YOU every day every night."
Maybe instead of whining about Panama paper doesn't do as much as one can fantasies, read the report I linked again, focus on what has been done, and pay some respect to the people fighting for you this time?

The man running the law firm that managed the fraud never saw a trial, much less a conviction.
Your article of "Um, actually!"s doesn't change that.
Its fake
Everybody already knew Russia was hot assfire.
I'm certain some people will go to jail.
You can't just release information about politicians and billionaires and not go to jail.
I see what you did there.. 😂

Mediafire link to 18GB of the data: https://www.mediafire.com/file/9prdor8m7a1z9f6/Leaked+Data+of+corrupt+officials.rar/file
4chan should go down more often lol
I checked some of it, did they just run nikto against some russian IPs?
Their "vulnerabilities" are mostly clickjacking missing headers and secure flags on cookies (probably not even session cookies)
So it seems. The Russian business receipts may be more useful, but I’m not really sure how this data can be used.
There are going to be a lot of upset, worried, wealthy people in London today.
Good
Found this on hacker news, some people there say this data dump is total bs and for the news page itself: It's an article from an Indian right wing conspiracy news website. Check out their other hard hitting journalism: https://archive.ph/8RGAb"
The screenshot of files looks like an troll. I can't believe nobody is pointing this out.
I mean really. Who even names folders like that.
There is nothing under the trump folder except 2 pics of possible vulnerabilities from a CMD prompt. Maybe some stuff in other data, but the trump folder is bust
