| Both of these Papers were revealed by an organization with the cumbersome name of The International Consortium of Independent Journals (ICIJ) — a group in need of a new name and a publicity agent

International Consortium of Investigative Journalists. The name is fine and the authors (extremely basic) facts are wrong.

Yeah. I am really happy about the ICIJ's work here, but I stopped reading this after seeing that the author didn't get the name right and then explicitely talked about the name.

Luckily, there's plenty of good coverage on the topic. For example, I really enjoyed the (German) mini-podcast by the NDR: http://www.ndr.de/info/podcast4360.html

You're right, they got the name wrong.

However, I read it all, and they seemed to know their stuff. They knew about using lawsuits to move money out, and they knew about using fake insurance policies to move money back in. I don't think most people know that - I only learned them recently.
