Synopsis
Secrecy World is the inspiration for the Major Motion Picture The Laundromat from Director Steven Soderbergh, Starring Meryl Streep, Gary Oldman, and Antonio Banderas A two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist takes us inside the world revealed by the Panama Papers, a landscape of illicit money, political corruption, and fraud on a global scale. A hidden circulatory system flows beneath the surface of global finance, carrying trillions of dollars from drug trafficking, tax evasion, bribery, and other illegal enterprises. This network masks the identities of the individuals who benefit from these activities, aided by bankers, lawyers, and auditors who get paid to look the other way. In Secrecy World , the Pulitzer Prize winning investigative reporter Jake Bernstein explores this shadow economy and how it evolved, drawing on millions of leaked documents from the files of the Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca--a trove now known as the Panama Papers--as well as other journalistic and government investigations. Bernstein shows how shell companies operate, how they allow the superwealthy and celebrities to escape taxes, and how they provide cover for illicit activities on a massive scale by crime bosses and corrupt politicians across the globe. Bernstein traveled to the Caribbean, Latin America, Europe, and within the United States to uncover how these strands fit together--who is involved, how they operate, and the real-world impact. He recounts how Mossack Fonseca was exposed and what lies ahead for the corporations, banks, law firms, individuals, and governments that are implicated. Secrecy World offers a disturbing and sobering view of how the world really works and raises critical questions about financial and legal institutions we may once have trusted., A two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist takes us inside the world revealed by the Panama Papers, a landscape of illicit money, political corruption, and fraud on a global scale.

He recounts how Mossack Fonseca was exposed and what lies ahead for the corporations, banks, law firms, individuals, and governments that are implicated. Secrecy World offers a disturbing and sobering view of how the world really works and raises critical questions about financial and legal institutions we may once have trusted., This river of cash exists in a largely unregulated place known as the secrecy world. It's an alternate reality available only to those who can afford the trip. In the secrecy world, wealth is largely untouchable by government tax authorities and hidden from the view of criminal investigators. Through the secrecy world, family dynasties are nurtured, their fortunes-often obtained illicitly-laundered and passed on to heirs. It's a place where capital always triumphs over labor and the well-to-do are free to ignore the laws that govern their fellow citizens. ... The effects are everywhere around us. Money hijacked by the secrecy world is no longer available to pay for infrastructure, build schools, or police communities. It has led to the spiraling cost of real estate in major cities such as New York, Los Angeles, Miami, and London. The wealthy eager to park their money in safe assets are bidding up prices by grabbing properties in these places. They often buy through anonymous companies that keep their identities secret from tax collectors at home and abroad. ... The biggest abusers of the secrecy world are multinational corporations. They base their operations in places that provide minimal taxes and maximum secrecy like Delaware, the Cayman Islands, and Luxembourg. After they were exposed, Mossack Fonseca's principals insisted they were no different from these corporations. They were simply behaving the way accountants, bankers, lawyers, and trust companies operate every day. They were right. Book jacket.

    As described, good value, fast shipping, secure packaging. The only issue is that they smell like smoke and il allergic to it so I can't use them.
