Good video about the development of a culture of global kleptocracy and the Pandora Papers.

In my old home, which had a great many very wealthy people towards the end. Sometimes I would get into conversations with very wealthy people while I was going out at night socially. They just blew me away sometimes.

Nothing gets them more excited than talking about these schemes.. Their eyes just light up.

Many former government types have embezzled large amounts of money from their former employers and they wantg to protect the money they stole in these offshore structures in former British colonies and some US states which allow account holders to hide their real ownership.

In the 80s and 90s (during the supposed Golden Era of the offshore world and these tax havens) I had had many conversations with people involved in the world of financial scamming for the wealthy. I would meet these people while just socializing.

They are just so into it. How do they get away with it?
