Today's Webtip: The Panama Papers

Want to try to keep track of what's going on? Have a little help from some friends.

Headlines have been taken over by one of the most massive leaks ever. The documents (around 2.6 terabytes) have been in the hands of a huge group of journalists from over 100 news agencies in 100 countries who have been poring over the information and working on putting together stories for the last several months.

The amazing number of articles coming out (and the enormous amount of organisations releasing them,) means it's been a bit hard to keep track of it all. Want a TL;DR? It's not going to happen any time soon, but at least a few people are trying to keep track of what is there.

Why should you care? It's just about "Tax Optimisation right"

Well, not really.

The Panama Papers now have three own sub-reddit, and one post is trying to keep some information together.
