Thanks very much, and I'm really glad you found the Directors Map of Power useful. I have a minor correction to make: our data isn't scraped, it's bought directly from Companies House and used under license, though you're right to tell others to buy a report from Companies House if they want official and up-to-date documentation.

]]> Comment on How to Fish for People in Panama by Dan http://www.investigativedashboard.org/2011/03/how-to-fish-for-people-in-panama/#comment-28 Dan Thu, 17 Mar 2011 14:27:33 +0000 http://www.datatracker.org/?p=492#comment-28 There's another way to run a fishing expedition. You can compile a big list of figures from business, politics, etc, and then search for them all in the scraped Panama database. We've currently used this approach with France, with the journalist David LeLoup doing most of the investigation: http://www.rue89.com/2010/09/28/serigny-conseiller-de-woerth-ange-du-paradis-fiscal-panameen-168554 -- but the tactic can certainly be repeated elsewhere. Currently this requires me to manually run some code on my server. I hope eventually to provide an interface to do this automatically, and perhaps provide a similar bulk-search interface to other databases. Meanwhile, feel free to contact me and I'll try to help.

]]> Comment on Offshore Haven Mauritius to Clean Up its Act by pradu http://www.investigativedashboard.org/2011/02/offshore-haven-mauritius-to-clean-up-its-act/#comment-21 pradu Mon, 28 Feb 2011 05:50:19 +0000 http://www.datatracker.org/?p=329#comment-21 I don't agree with you, Marc. This is an argument heavily used when defending wealth hidden in offshore havens: safety issues. In fact, people are exposing themselves through showing off their wealth even if they keep their money and company assets through proxies. It's the luxury yacht, the Maybach or the expensive mansion that exposes them and makes them a target for criminals. On the other hand, offshore secrecy has been abused for too long by dictators, corrupt politicians etc. It led to too many people suffering around the world with oppressive regimes and corruption fueled through untraceable transactions done via offshore secrecy. It is not the tax optimization that is really hurting global economies but really the secrecy. I don’t agree with you, Marc.
