Mossack was acquitted on Friday along with others after a Panamanian judge found that the evidence against Mossack didn’t comply with the chain of custody

Uh oh, looks like the door to the evidence locker got left open and random people who are totally not related to MF and the people who they hid money for got in and rustled everything up. Looks like we gotta aquit them. Aw shucky dee, we're really sorry all. Looks like those pesky richers are going to go free with no consequences, no one could see this coming.

Daphne Galizia died for this

The Laundromat (2019) attempts to describe the human impact of this kind of large-scale money laundering. It's worth watching.

I don't know why we're even remotely concerned with some businessmen, well respected in their communities, conducting perfectly reasonable financial transactions when just last week, I saw a BROWN person in an orange grove, taking all the jobs from "the blacks" and forcing them into poverty!

Heavy /s though with use of actual sound bites from our burgeoning overlords.

Let me guess, just recently somehow the judge got rich and now the evidence is not sufficient so they can't do anything.

At a few billions net worth, the law ceases to be a problem, obviously.

And that judge will retire to his villa where his children and grandchildren will constantly visit. There will be no talk of politics, or the issues of the world. The man has his bubble and will never see the consequences of his actions.

Best justice money can buy. Almost as good as in the US.

The simulation keeps on churning....

Justice aligning itself with money is a resurgent trend worldwide.

Hilarious times ahead.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

The judge noted that other evidence in the Panama Papers case “was not sufficient and conclusive to determine the criminal responsibility of the accused.”

“We feel satisfied in the midst of mixed emotions, because many lives were affected along the way,” Guillermina Mc Donald, who was the defense attorney for Mossack and Fonseca, told The Associated Press.

Judge Balaoisa Marquínez had decided to combine the Panama Papers case with another known as “Operation Car Wash,” a major anti-corruption investigation that began in Brazil.

On Friday, she ruled that in the car wash case, “it was not possible to determine the entry of money from illicit sources, coming from Brazil, into the Panamanian financial system with the purpose of hiding, concealing, disguising or helping to evade the legal consequences of the preceding crime.”

The investigation in Brazil began in 2014, with the Mossack & Fonseca firm later coming under scrutiny after 11 million financial documents tied to the company were leaked.

The repercussions of the leak were widespread: it led to the resignation of a prime minister in Iceland and brought scrutiny to now former leaders of Argentina and Ukraine, Chinese politicians and Russian President Vladimir Putin, among others.
