<div>Hmm I don’t know if I agree with this as it seems to make the assumption that forming a shell company in Panama can only be for nefarious or corrupt reasons which is just not the facts of the matter. And its very unforuntate that the two classes of companies
or uses are bunched togher in any debate that I’ve seen around the Panama Papers releases.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Plenty of genuine reasons for doing so that are not for illegal reasons or reasons to undermine public goods.</div>

<div><font>The fundamental<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i>human</i><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>right to privacy is not the same as the 'right' to keep your crimes secret. I would also argue that 1) shell companies aren't humans
(though they might be persons in some territories), and 2) corruption thrives on secrecy. And because even a broken clock is right twice day, I will quote Michael Moore... “Openness, transparency — these are among the few weapons the citizenry has to protect
itself from the powerful and the corrupt”. </font></div>
