From the Reddit live thread: The Editor in Chief of Süddeutsche Zeitung responded to the lack of United States individuals in the documents, saying to "Just wait for what is coming next".

Perhaps they don't want the individuals in the initial release to be overshadowed. Everything in good time.

Good news :)

Finger crossed for some dirt on Hillary.

(Assuming you are a US citizen from your previous comments)

Why are you hoping one of your presidential candidates is corrupt? Shouldn't you be crossing your fingers not to find dirt?

Many people have totally lost faith in establishment politicians... our system is constantly exploited by business and even "good" politicians have shady support (through lobbying/superpacs/etc). If a mainstream politician is implicated in this mess, it gives the public concrete evidence to improve the status quo.

It's like the Snowden leaks. Many knew about the NSA conspiracies years before his information came out. For all those years the public was blind to their rights slowly slipping away as precedents were set, while those that knew were ignored as paranoid nutters. Now we can see the light.

edit: to be clear, I'm not talking about any specific politician here.

Some people don't care what it takes to get their guy to win. If she has corrupt dealings, I hope they are exposed, but I don't hope she has corrupt dealings (though many would already say she does).

To many people, the sunshine that exposing scandal brings is much needed. Consider the fact that the Church Committee was formed only after Watergate.

Many of us know that establishment politicians are utterly compromised. It's similar to the Edward Snowden revelations. We just need proof.

Many people are already convinced that Hillary is corrupt. When that is the case, finding dirt is a desirable thing.

(I don't have strong opinions on the matter, by the way.)

Or perhaps Americans have a different organization they go to when they want to form shell companies.

I think it is selective. They say they will reveal more in May.

It's definitely a very focused search. There will almost certainly be more coverage over the coming days/weeks. It is reported that a full list of names and companies linked will be released in early May. http://www.irishtimes.com/business/what-are-the-panama-paper...

"The leak is being managed by the grandly but laughably named “International Consortium of Investigative Journalists”, which is funded and organised entirely by the USA’s Center for Public Integrity. Their funders include
