Also, things have been done about it. The offices were shut down in 2018 and there have been multiple criminal trials over the whole fiasco.
It's also been talked a lot about in various parliaments and congresses as room for improvement such as requiring a real and exclusive physical address, as a way to prevent 200,000+ businesses from operating out of a small building.
There's one in Delaware that's got like 10,000. Delaware is super easy to open a company in, and you don't have to be a resident to do so.
The one I posted a picture of is in Delaware and has 285,000 corporations based out of their address.
Also, Delaware lets those companies vote in state elections
The whole Bill Burr perspective that corporations and such are legalized mafia that are still going to occasionally whack people for real instead of with lawyers is more than a joke.
How many people were hardcore assassinated by these people in 2024?
There were those 2 Boeing whistleblowers that suddenly became terminally suicidal, and a Tesla whistleblower suddenly found his brake lines cut. Idk if those happened in 2024 (I don't think so), but they definitely keep happening.
I really wish people would stop claiming suicides are secret murders. It minimizes suicide, and you shouldn't.
It also paints a vastly different picture of what John Barnet was going through. (I can't find any mentions of a second boing whistleblower dying)
and Christina Balan is alive, and if not well, at least she's currently winning.
The brakes thing wasn't someone cutting her brakes, it was her getting fired for reporting the issues with brakes on early Teslas.

Edit Okay, found the other boeing whistleblower,
Joshua Dean, a former quality inspector for the contractor Spirit AeroSystems, a 2005 Boeing spin-off, checked himself into the hospital after experiencing difficulty breathing from contracting influenza B and Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). He died two weeks later (May 1, 2024) after developing pneumonia and suffering a stroke. Dean and other workers at the Wichita, Kansas factory testified that they had been instructed to downplay or hide production defects on the 737 Max, which had a door plug blow off mid-flight in January 2024.[44]
I doubt that boeing controls the flu virus.
Especially since this then happened.
The deaths of Barnett and Dean prompted more than 10 new whistleblowers from Boeing and Spirit to come forward with similar allegations.[50] Santiago Paredes, another Spirit whistleblower, dismissed the conspiracy theories.[47]
Pneumonia from illness, especially when you molder flat on your back in bed (which makes it worse, by a lot) is a legit disease progression. Also common in elderly/fragile found down on the floor after a couple days.
Unhealthy lungs don’t like being horizontal.
Bill Burr is kind of a piece of shit, idk if leaning on him is a good look.
Doesn't really make him wrong there.
I said it was a bad look.
There's no accounting for taste.
Is he? That’s a shame. Why is he kind of a piece of shit?
He fell from grace along with a lot of other comedians who went to Riyadh Comedy Festival in 2025. Apparently it was really well-paid so a lot of famous comedians went. Reddit went apeshit and branded them fascist sellouts.
He did a comedy show in Saudi Arabia (I think?) or somewhere in the middle east. That's it. Ol' Billy Boob has always walked that line imo. He's got some good takes and some bad ones. Don't think he nazi saluted or said trans people should die or anything like that, that I know of.
If only there were a sort of "search algorithm" capable of searching a catalogue of interner sites...
He's fascist-lite. Claims to be anticapitalist but he claims liberals are idiots and he takes money from Saudi Arabia.

Hey man, you’re the one who made the claim, I was just asking for some support for that claim. /shrug
He’s fascist-lite. Claims to be anticapitalist but he claims liberals are idiots
He’d fit right in over on Lemmy.ml! 😉 Honestly though, if he’s anti-capitalist that doesn’t seem like a contradiction, since liberalism is a capitalist ideology.
and he takes money from Saudi Arabia
Oof. That one sucks. That said, there is an argument that I’ve seen about the role of comedy in helping to modernize a culture. Whether that’s possible when following strict censorship however, I’m not sure. The whole Riyad comedy thing certainly does feel gross.
Regardless, “fascist” has a specific definition and I don’t think I’d agree that Bill Barr falls into that category, even “lite.” But I only have a passing familiarity with his work, so I could very well be wrong.
But movies told me that exposing the bad things to the public is supposed to end the bad things
They sort of did?
There have been a bunch of trials, and several countries changed their laws to prevent this exact form of money laundering.
The rich assholes then moved to different forms of money laundering.
Except the rich asshole who ordered the hit on Daphne Galizia, he's currently on trial for her murder, and for money laundering.
There was a movie about this, with Meryl Streep, and there was a real feel of outcry from it, and a real sense that they knew nothing would actually happen.
Campaign finance reform prevents serious reform from happening that could target the rich.
Allegedly murdered with a car bomb!!!!
Who knows it might have been suicide, or a martial dispute, or an unpaid parking fine.
Some countries can be really strict about the no parking zone. Especially after you piss off a bunch of murderous unethical billionaires.
Well, since the rich asshole who ordered the hit is currently on trial for it, and a laundry list if other crimes, including money laundering and bribing the head of the anti-money laundering investigative unit, we can say that it happened.
The guy also spent 5 years in jail awaiting trial for murder before he was granted bail.
It's a a slow march to justice but it is still moving (slowly).
Same with the Mueller Report amirite
Macri from argentina, piñeira from chile and lasso from ecuador had 10+ billion dollars no one ever know where they came from, who's money is that and what to do with this information, no one ever was hold accountable. The closest thing was Lasso tearing down the congress and calling to emergency elections but no one persecute him or anyone.
I'm white, but i feel that terrorist dawg deep inside of me. Just one trigger and it is unleashed

I don't want to diminish Daphne Caruana Galizia's legacy, but she did not break the story of the Panama papers. While Galizia played an important role in uncovering the corruption of politicians from her home country, Malta; the story of the Panama Papers broke after an anonymous whistleblower leaked the files to a German journalist who then got the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists involved who broke the story collectively. Galizia's previous independent investigations were confirmed by the Panama Papers.
Let me be clear: Galizia was an extremely courageous journalist who paid with her life for the investigations she did and deserves to be remembered as such. She did not break the story of the Panama Papers though.
