Seven million pages of info on off-shore dealings involving major corporations, billionaires, Putin's inner circle of oligarchs, and more.

Such a massive release from a Bermuda-based law firm that specializes in setting up shell corporations for legally risky and unethical transactions.

Stay tuned...

First up appears to be Commerce Sec'y Wilbur Ross, who is doing business with Putin companies at the same time he's involved with those sanctions against Russia.

I think we'll be hearing a lot more about this.

This is going to be the gift that keeps on giving for months thanks to someone with a conscience who leaked it...

I've been following this on Twitter today.

We've all known Ross was dirty from the beginning. Quigley, congressman on the house intelligence committee, traveled to Cyprus months ago gathering data. I'm sure others will be implicated.

And before you can ask, if it's Democrats too, have at it.

Default Paradise Papers: Leaks Show Wilbur Ross Hid Ties to Putin Cronies

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...ronies-n817711

Uh oh. Remember Wilbur Ross being the head of the Cyprus bank known for laundering Russian Oligarch money? Manafort had Cyprus listed numerous times on his indictment.
