Sadly Jackie has betrayed the people of Hong Kong. In 2009 he stated “I’m not sure if it’s good to have freedom or not.”. He also said he was “beginning to feel that we Chinese need to be controlled.”

    I remember how a giant stink was made when the information was made public, then virtually nothing happened.

      So many people seem to think that. Just because you did not notice does not mean nothing happened. Just three examples:

      • Iceland’s PM resigned in 2016 after leaks showed his family’s offshore holdings tied to failed bank bailouts
      • Pakistan’s PM Nawaz Sharif was disqualified by the Supreme Court in 2017, then banned from politics for life in 2018
      • ~$1.3–2 billion recovered in back taxes/penalties globally, and law firm Mossack Fonseca shut down with its founders jailed for months

        The most important thing that happened was that the journalist who exposed them was murdered and no one cared. Nothing happened in the U.S.

        Edit: They caught the guys who did the killing, but the billionaire mastermind got off.
