Two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Jake Bernstein takes us inside the world revealed by the Panama Papers; one of secretive offshore tax havens, corruption, and fraud on a massive scale. Jake was a senior reporter on the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists Panama Papers project which won the Pulitzer Prize for Explanatory Reporting. (He earned his first Pulitzer Prize in 2011 for coverage of the financial crises.) His exploration of the scandal is now a book and a major motion picture starring Meryl Streep, Gary Oldman, and Antonio Banderas. The film, The Laundromat, has already been released on Netflix in the US, despite a lawsuit from Mossack Fonseca lawyers trying to shut it down.
