The Paradise Papers leak this past Sunday wasn’t shocking.

If anything, the varied revelations about what celebrities and corporations use offshore tax shelters only further justify the general public’s long-standing suspicion that the rich and powerful cheat on their taxes.

Surprise!

It’s also safe to assume that this latest detailed batch of leaks won’t be enough to warrant actual change from the governing powers that be.

What Are the “Paradise Papers”?

The “Paradise Papers” are leaked records taken from Bermuda law firm Appleby, which specializes in hooking up the wealthy with tax shelters. Originally published on Sunday by German newspaper S眉ddeutsche Zeitung, the records revealed a web of investments and schemes that make it easier to hoard cash without paying taxes.

Those implicated include the lead fundraiser for Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, U.S. Treasury Secretary Stephen Mnuchin, and the Queen of England. The leak also showed how corporations like Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL) and Nike Inc. (NYSE: NKE) take advantage of offshore tax havens.
