"The documents provide details about the movement of hundreds of millions of dollars from offshore havens in the Caribbean and Europe into South Dakota, a sparsely populated American state that has become a major destination for foreign money."

So that's bad.

From what I read, the bigger issue is not so much the money, but the fact that the US has helped set global trade and finance policy that obscured any visibility into the movement of money. That's the whole "we know it's happening, but can't see it happen" aspect that the US has been at the center of.
