Not surprised. Also not surprised at most of the stories told by the panama papers. Corruption seems to be part of human nature. There is historical evidence of corruption from every era and every generation if you look carefully. I wonder if anything will change now that some light has been shed....I hope so... I wouldn't be surprised if nothing changes though. Power is addictive and righteousness is relative. If every person of power has such stories of corruption, would the following people of power have similar stories as well? I would say highly likely.

While not evidence of wrong doing, the PM of Iceland, the country which imprisoned bankers who engaged in fraud and lauded for that by some, being on that list is a bit surprising.
haha right...and he stepped down...I wonder why?
