this video sums up what is in the documents (tw: sex slavery, death)
which news outlets are reporting the information?
The Guardian has a series of very good explanations and in depth articles
Reddit is âdoing their thingâ and has a detailed live thread
the German newspaper Sßddeutsche Zeitung that first exposed the leak
wait, okay, so how is the data leak important?
mostly because it incriminates some of the worldâs top politicians and key wealthy individuals as they engage in off-shore laundering, tax evasion, and other crimes (x)Â

numerous relatives and associates of political leadersÂ
and other very important people
are there any *insert notable Americans/Canadians/(citizens of your country)* involved?
as of now, only 149 documents have been released (publicly) out of 11.5 Million, so itâs guaranteed that more incriminating evidence will surface
âeditor of SĂźddeutsche Zeitung responded to the lack of U.S. individuals in the documents, saying âJust wait for what is coming next"â (x)
