"""What do you expect? The leak is being managed by the grandly but laughably named “International Consortium of Investigative Journalists”, which is funded and organised entirely by the USA’s Center for Public Integrity. Their funders include

Ford Foundation
Carnegie Endowment
Rockefeller Family Fund
W K Kellogg Foundation
Open Society Foundation (Soros)

among many others. Do not expect a genuine expose of western capitalism. The dirty secrets of western corporations will remain unpublished."""

The ICIJ is a joke. Of course they didn't notice their donor's companies. They weren't looking for any, and were more likely than not hoping no one else would notice any either.

"""The Panama Papers data reveals only the tip of Soros' offshore iceberg, the Quantum Group of Funds. The ICIJ's leader, journalist Gerard Ryle, said he had not noticed Soros' companies in the Offshore Leaks database until FoxNews.com called the matter to his attention.

"I suspect we would have more information [on Soros] because the public database does not contain the underlying data," Ryle said in an email FoxNews.com."""

More from the link in my post above.

""'But in the mid-1990s, Soros Capital bought several SEC-regulated firms, an act which required it to disclose the basic design of the Quantum network of interlocking offshore companies and bank accounts that shield Soros' billions.

Soros Capital set up an offshore company in the Cayman Islands for the purpose of investing private equity with the Carlyle Group, alongside members of Saudi Arabia's Bin Laden family. Carlyle's partners include ex-heads of state and former CIA officials. The private equity partnership specializes in buying and selling weapons manufacturing and intelligence gathering companies with government and military contracts and it also uses secret offshore companies to conduct business."""

All one big, happy family: Soros, bin Laden's, CIA, ex heads of state...
