The human who exposed it is still anonymous. A journalist who wrote using the Panama Papers as a source was murdered, most likely by local Maltese exposed by the journalist.

There has been $1B plus in taxes recovered as a result of the publication.

How many people are in prison? How many middle class folks get by with a slap on the wrist for tax evasion?

Most people that get caught for tax avoidance get punished civilly (fines etc).

Corporates can't be put in prison and piercing that veil takes a lot of work. Getting the money disgorged is a good step.
