Re: <nettime> Ten Theses on the Panama Papers

[morlockelloi@yahoo.com]

Maybe I'm missing something, but the mere notion that something that 
3-400 people have access to (more likely thousands, with associates, 
managers, etc.) is a tight secret is ... mind boggling. And then when 
the logistics of distributing all these terabytes to hundreds of 
recipients, months ago, without a single accident, is considered, this 
becomes a virtually impossible proposition.

On top of this, it appears that each entity got a custom subset - a 
major editing task.

And none of these thousands - not a single one - sent a copy to 
Wikileaks? Give me a break.

What we have here is a totally unrealistic interpretation of the 
reality. But then it was only a matter of time when the 'anonymous 
leaks' strategy will get weaponized and incorporated into media business 
model.
