That’s it?
The Panama papers consisted of 11 millions documents, 214 000 offshore companies, 14.000 customers… And now 27 are charged, and that’s it.
Don’t forget the guy who broke this story kinda sorta exploded
The “guy” in question is called Daphne Anne Caruana Galizia…
Daphne Anne Caruana Galizia…
I am a girl and I use “guy” in a gender neutral way.

Vs. “person”?
The word “guy” (vs “gal”, etc.) is literally signaling gender.
Not that I think it’s worth much debate/argument, but still. When I read the OC I just substituted the word ‘guy’ for ‘person’ in my head, because I understood the meaning of the whole sentence being said.
Language is chabgeable. I always say “guys” for mixed groups. Seems like some more people agree or don’t care.

I don’t mostly, I just wanted to make conversation. As I mentioned earlier, I did the mental gymnastics and substituted “person” for “guy” in my head when reading.

It definately evolves, over time. I speak English but literally can’t understand Old English (as an example).
My language doesn’t segregate between an Uncle (for example) on my Father’s side, vs. on my Mother’s side, while some other languages do exactly that, they have two different words depending on which Uncle you’re talking about.
Heck, we even use the same vowels but pronounce them differently in different cultures. English pronouces the vowel “I” as “eye”, while (for example) with Persian/Farsi they pronounce the vowel “I” as if its an “E”. Americans say “Eye-ran” for Iran, where Persians say “Eee-ron” for Iran.
Its important for Humanity to be able to speak to each other, to resolve issues and build a better social World habitat. Kind of hard when people manipulate the languages away from what they are, but then again that Humanity, never 100% perfect.
Just the law firm is in trouble and none of the clients who had their money laundered.
Honestly I was expecting all 27 to be the journalists that covered it knowing how fucked this world is when it comes to justice…
Too late, as the one who broke the story got murdered years ago. She’s not talked about nearly enough.
I would have, but I didn’t remember it offhand and didn’t have time to check. She deserved far better than she got though, that’s for sure.
