The most massive leak of all time?

Massive leak reveals money rings of global leaders

"...The cache is larger than the one leaked in 2013 by former CIA employee Edward Snowden — who tweeted on Sunday that the "Biggest leak in the history of data journalism just went live, and it's about corruption.".."

Hardly anything really new here. Do you think the likes of Putin really care about these "leaks"?

New and, perhaps more importantly, somewhat definitive. And, yes, I think it has Putin's attention:

I highly doubt Putin gives a slightest damn about any Irish Times publications.

You think my post was about a news outlet? It was about the content.

Lots of content (fill) ... But no details. Typical media trick.

Dmitry Peskov? Is that you? I'm surprised Putin's spokesman has an ET account.

Do you genuinely believe most Russians don't suspect Putin is corrupt?

I think they know (or at least suspect it if they're dim). But if the details emerge in all their glory, both the amounts and the machinations, then I think it will be that much harder for even his most ardent supporters to compartmentalize and digest without a hiccup. In any event, I guess we'll find out in due course.

If bets are out, my take is it will have no effect as usual. Even if he raped a goat live on TV but the Russian media told Russians they shouldn't believe it, they wouldn't. Things will start changing there again only when they start starving.
