That's pretty endearing how oblivious all of them are to the issue initially.

The more I think about it, Scarlett Johansson does have qualities that match the character well. In the Arise series you see that the major once had a much more sensible body prosthetic that was physically more like an average Japanese woman. And you get the sense that the choice of her new body was an ostentatious and personal one. She didn't need to be tall, statuesque and impractically sexy, but that's the persona she choose.

Check out the only still from the movie and tell me she's not physically pretty close, race aside.

So interesting. It seems anime consumers in Japan consider their characters to be kind of non-Japanese because of their physical characteristics.

If you noticed, they only get to pay the lower state tax rate in Delaware, Wyoming, or Nevada. LLCs don't shield them from federal taxes like off shore shell companies do. The shell companies allow them to pretend they don't have the money at all, and pay NO federal taxes.
Some Americans have been named already, with more to come. WOO HOO!

The one problem with that is that, surprisingly, none of the revealed names are from the US. My country is well represented, as is Europe, but it seems that your countrymen didn't use Mossack Fonseca. Given that Panama based its laws on Delaware, perhaps they prefer Delaware LLC's? Perhaps it's the office next to Mossack Fonseca that has a monopoly on the US shell companies?

Perhaps one day we'll find out.

I have no doubt he's on the take in some way or another and I'd be surprised if he wasn't laundering money through offshore accounts. However, Poroshenko is right there on the list and given how the German media has been pro Poroshenko/Yatsenyuk, having Putin on the cover of this story is just the icing on the cake.

That said, I don't really care about the officials or, generally speaking, the high profile cases. The fixers are more interesting, including the individuals set up as fake directors on dozens if not hundreds of shell companies -- a perfect entry into the network. Sueddeutsche has already provided graphs of how many shell companies large German banks have created through MossFon. In the lead, as you will have guessed, is Deutsche Bank, as always when we're talking shady business.

The fact that a German lawyer by the name of Jürgen Mossack co-founded MossFon might motivate same folks to at least dig deeper into MossFon, which would be a start.
