David Guyatt Wrote:I've been watching a very interesting interview on RT this morning with Joh Mcafee, the computer security guy on the Panama Papers. His view is that in addition to having used these records to smear and attack its enemies, the US government by withholding all the American names, was sending a blackmail message to wealthy US citizens saying that they have proof of tax evasion (and probably worse) and are using this to hold it over their heads. McAfee added that he knows many Americans who have accounts in Panama and that they use them because they don't trust the US banking system - on several levels.
I have to say it makes perfect sense and I sort of kick myself for not thinking this part through more thoroughly.
McAfee is a very interesting guy in so many ways himself and deserving of a whole new thread just for him. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_McAfee
What he says does make perfect sense too.
