The only person to pay for the Panama Papers and the global oligarch's financial tax schemes they revealed was the lead journalist who broke it, and She paid with her life in a violent, sending a message to others who would cross the global oligarchs way.

We have no power unless we rebel as entire economic classes, and there's too many self hating, true believer, "love me senpai oligarch" class traitors for that to ever happen.
That said, collapse is inevitable, entropy is absolute, and Rome always falls under the weight of its own corruption in the end. The snake of capitalism is choking on its own tail with no new room to grow/metastasize, which is the crux of their entire rigged con-game, and my only hope is that something better is made out of the ruins. Even that is a faint hope though. For every kind, empathetic person, there seems to be a sociopath opportunist that wants to manipulate and enslave them out of material selfishness.
We taking your car, or mine?
I still don't understand how the judge connected this to January 6th and said it is as dangerous. Was that trump assigned judge or something?
Edit: it wasn't, I still don't understand how placing equality sign between this and January 6th. Also if they are equal, he is still getting a harsher sentence than most.
It's not like Jan 6th. The people saying it is are trying to both-sides their insurrection. Notice they're calling Biden's management of the border "traitorous" as well. They'll be calling everything they can treason or insurrection until November, or they find something that resonates at which point they'll start opening BS congressional inqueries or impeachment cases about. Because once congress says they're investigating something, it must be real, right?

This act was very much illegal. Why shouldn't he be found guilty of it?
More time than half the J6 douche bags.
Littljohn. Big balls.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The man who stole and leaked former President Donald Trump and thousands of others’ tax records has been sentenced to five years in prison.
In October, Charles Littlejohn, 38, pleaded guilty to one count of unauthorized disclosures of income tax returns.
Judge Ana Reyes highlighted the gravity of the crime, saying multiple times that it amounted to an attack against the US and its legal foundation.
Prosecutors said Littlejohn went through great lengths to steal the tax records undetected, exploiting system loopholes, downloading data to an Apple iPod and uploading the information on a private website he later deleted.
“A free press and public engagement with the media are critical to any healthy democracy, but stealing and leaking private, personal tax information strips individuals of the legal protection of their most sensitive data,” prosecutors wrote in a court filing recommending Littlejohn be sentenced to the maximum of five years in prison.
“I acted out of a sincere misguided belief,” Littlejohn said in court Monday, adding that he was serving the country and that people had a right to the tax information.
