The two Canadian media members of the consortium looking into the Panama Papers - TorStar and CBC - promised to publish the names of <a href="http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/panama-papers-icij-database-names-public-1.3572138" rel="nofollow">at least 625 Canadians</a> with offshore accounts through Mossack Fonseca. That never happened. <br /><br />To my knowledge only a handful of Canadians have been named: <a href="http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/panama-papers-fred-sharp-1.3567174" rel="nofollow">Fred Sharp</a>, a disbarred Vancouver lawyer who registered thousands of companies through MF for clients, and Edmonton fraud artist <a href="http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/edmonton-fraudster-michael-ritter-s-company-surfaces-in-leaked-panama-papers-1.3571613" rel="nofollow">Michael Ritter</a>. There were a few others named by the Star, but what they all have in common is existing fraud convictions or disbarment.<br /><br />The Star talked about <a href="" rel="nofollow">a secretive network of "enablers"</a> helping Canadians to ship their wealth offshore - lawyers, financial planners, bankers and accountants - but only names Unitrust, a small player run by Russians. Where are the names of the Canadian banks, major law firms, "reputable" accountants, etc.?<br /><br />Nothing earth shattering came out of the Panama Papers investigation here in Canada. The media players seem to have chickened out on their promised revelations. As for CRA follow through, don't make me laugh. We saw how that works in the Isle of Man tax scam.<br /><br />CapAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-29074910800267465502017-01-24T18:09:06.583-08:002017-01-24T18:09:06.583-08:00and!!

May the world press save the Americans, not that a large portion of them deserve to be saves after voting for this Twit. Ruralhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11814103548500393628noreply@blogger.com
