The various Appleby press releases insist that this was a data hack rather than an internal leak. Presumably the article should at least mention that this is in issue? --Legis (talk - contribs) 11:30, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. We don't actually know which it is and I can't think of a better wording, but it is material if they say they are sure it isn't an employee Elinruby (talk) 10:41, 19 November 2017 (UTC) Elinruby (talk) 10:41, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Please, will the person who keeps using this wording switch to something else? I believe the ICIJ or I wouldn't be working on this article, but a) it assumes truth, which we don't know for a fact and b) it's all over these leak articles and is kinda stilted to begin with. For attribution I have been saying "according to the Appleby documents" and the like, which has its own problems; I am open to suggestions. We do need the article to be closely attributed since at least some people are issuing denials, and just sending money out of the country is illegal in some places.

When you dumb it all the way down it boils down to this alone. Basically, the paradise papers are a list of people who have an offshore bank account. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.250.93.7 (talk) 01:51, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
the citation for Jim Watkins in the Hong Kong section is wrong[edit]
I just made my account to post this but the citation for Jim Watkins leads to a 67 year old non-executive director of multiple companies (pdf page 40) instead of a 59 year old American Nazi ex-sexpat who runs neckbeard imageboards. Both of them happen to share the same full name and after some light searching on the offshore leaks database I don't think the nazi guy is on the offshore leaks at all. Can someone who actually knows how to edit articles plz edit the thing. ty Editinginclass (talk) 03:25, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
