"Being cash-free puts us at risk of attack": Swedes turn against cashlessness

by David Crouch in Gothenburg

Sweden’s central bank governor has called for public control over its payment system. Others say a fully digital system is vulnerable to fraud and attack

It is hard to argue that you cannot trust the government when the government isn’t really all that bad. This is the problem facing the small but growing number of Swedes anxious about their country’s rush to embrace a cash-free society.

Most consumers already say they manage without cash altogether, while shops and cafes increasingly refuse to accept notes and coins because of the costs and risk involved. Until recently, however, it has been hard for critics to find a hearing.

Oligarchs hide billions in shell companies. Here's how we stop them | Frederik Obermaier and Bastian Obermayer

by Frederik Obermaier and Bastian Obermayer

The Panama Papers have helped tax authorities recover over $500m around the world. Property registries could ensure that even more is recovered

Two years ago we published the Panama Papers after an anonymous source provided 2.6 terabytes of internal data from the dubious Panamanian law firm of Mossack Fonseca. We shared the data with 400 journalists worldwide and together revealed how the wealthy and powerful use shell companies to hide their assets. Such companies are exploited by dictators, drug cartels, mafia clans, fraudsters, weapons dealers and regimes like North Korea and Iran to hide their shady business transactions.

As a consequence, Sigmundur Davíð Gunnlaugsson, the prime minister of Iceland, resigned. The Pakistani prime minister, Nawaz Sharif, did the same, and in the United Kingdom even David Cameron’s father was implicated. So far, the Panama Papers have helped tax authorities around the world to recover more than $500m in unpaid taxes and penalties. It could be far more if lawmakers finally take action.

RIP Thomas

Thomas1thomas2Thomas3thomas4thomas5

Pour les LV1 espagnol : Thomas l'oie bisexuel aveugle qui a passé les vingt dernières années de sa vie coincé dans un triangle amoureux avec deux cygnes vient de nous quitter à l'âge de 40 ans. Nous adressons toutes nos condoléances à sa belle petite famille. Gageons que Disney ne réalisera malheureusement jamais de magnifique biopic sur ce petit ange parti bien trop tôt.

Chicken Pox and Name Statistics

People with all six of those names agree that it's weird that we have teeth, when you think about it for too long. Just about everyone agrees on that, except—in a still-unexplained statistical anomaly—people named "Trevor."
