Panama papers

Many people have wondered what ever happened to the Lolitta Express. This was the plane that Jeffrey Epstein used to ferry important people to his island where it is alleged that there were underage girls. The FBI raided the house and found tapes and photographs. This whole affair just went by the wayside. A few years before this episode the Panama Papers were leaked to the press. This was about 12 million documents listing personal financial data from 130 billionaires, 330 politicians, celebrities and members of royal family and even some religious leaders. It exposed the large Chinese bank HSBC and a money laundering hub. A thorough investigation resulted in two arrest. The first was a 65 year old illiterate farm women who would come in several times per week and make cash deposits of millions. The second was a 17 year old high school drop out who would drive a truck full of cash from mainland China to Honk Kong. Over his many trips he deposited $13 billion US dollars in cash. This was all about money in offshore accounts with many showing hundreds of millions of dollars. No bank officials were charged but the bank was fined $2 billion dollars. The bank has assets of $2,500 billion and they are still operating on the fringe. This kind of activity is not new. Back in the 1960's when 60 minutes first started, I remember watching Mike Wallace interview a Miami banker and he asked the banker if he was suspicious when a man came in and deposited $200,000 in cash and the banker answered not a all. This story about the Panama Papers disappeared so fast that most people never heard of it. People often ask if we have a two tiered justice system.
