Searching the Panama Papers
May 11, 2016
Curious about the money laundering information improperly obtained from a law firm in Panama? You can search for the names of people whom you know by navigating to this link:

I ran a number of queries. The system works okay but considerable effort is required to wrangle on point results.
Sad to say none of the people and outfits I queried seemed to be high fliers. To make sense out of the data, one would need the corpus, some normalization, and an industrial strength tool or two.
