In response to "The documents were stolen from a firm that does business in some of these jurisdictions. " by iSpam

We are going to need to be careful with what we read into what comes out of this, as it's all very complex.

They have a Power Players section of the site listing world leaders and their associates which makes it look like "here are the bad guys who did bad things!". And then they have a little text at the bottom that says "There are legitimate uses for offshore companies. Read more"

If you click read more you get:
"Legal

There are legitimate uses for offshore companies, foundations and trusts. We do not intend to suggest or imply that any persons, companies or other entities included in the ICIJ Power Players interactive application have broken the law or otherwise acted improperly. If you find an error in the database please get in touch with us: [email protected]"

But that's not how the site overall is presented.
