They sought the utmost secrecy in offshore tax havens. But now some of the world's wealthiest citizens are having their undisclosed financial records laid bare.
An unprecedented leak of documents is revealing the closely guarded investment information of more than 100,000 people around the world, including hundreds of Canadians.
INTERACTIVE: How the rich hide their money MAP: Where Canada's offshore account-holders live
In what is believed to be one of the largest ever leaks of financial data, the Washington, D.C.-based International Consortium of Investigative Journalists has received nearly 30 years of data entries, emails and other confidential details from 10 offshore havens around the world.
CBC News has partnered with the ICIJ over the last seven months to gain exclusive Canadian access to the information. Thirty-seven media outlets in 35 other countries are also involved.
"This secret world has finally been revealed," said lawyer and international tax expert Art Cockfield, a professor at Queen's University in Kingston, Ont.

I hope they will get what they deserve for their greed. Unfornunately, I doubt it. Paying some millions wont hurt them at all.
Cheers.

The first event, Cyprus, highlights the fact that Bitcoins cannot be seized.
Now this highlights the other main feature of Bitcoin: Anonymity.
Bitcoin is incredibly lucky to have two events directly after each other that prove its value.

The problem with brain wallet is..... your head might be less safe than a safe box. Go to a party got dunk and do stupid games,... drop your head on floor and shiet.... you lose memory... all your saving is gone with it.

So you write it down on a piece of paper and hide it under the floorboards (Just try to be sober when you do this )

I haven't seen any explanation of where the leaked data came from. All the ICIJ states is that "a computer hard drive packed with corporate data and personal information and e-mails arrived in the mail." Arrived from whom? How credible is this story?
