I see that this article is being frequently edited in a similar manner by multiple accounts new to Wikipedia, but which are quick studies in WP formatting. I am reverting these edits because they appear to be replacing notable, cited information with trivial, POV information from dubious sources. For example, a major international business donating $1000 dollars toward trail maintenance gear is probably not especially notable. If you feel otherwise, I would urge you to explain why here, rather than edit-warring. Cheers, Tdslk ( talk) 23:15, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

As of February 2015, here are widespread reports in the German press that the company is engaged in money laundering and tax evasion schemes, in connection with Commerzbank. Estimates are running to EUR 1BN of evaded taxes for their clients. Info about this should be added.

The company has been alleged to help foreign citizens circumvent their local tax laws.[6] It has also worked with associates of dictators such as Robert Mugabe, Muammar Gaddafi, and Bashar al Assad to help them circumvent international sanctions.[7]
I went through the sources and for the first claim, it seems to me like it is all based on speculation., as for the second source, it seems to me like an editorial piece. Any chance we could get these removed? Cada mori ( talk) 18:33, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
Please note, this article claims "The company has been alleged to help foreign citizens circumvent their local tax laws" but when you read the source, it clearly states that the Mossack Fonseca representative deny the request and advice that such request is illegal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jandrade97 ( talk • contribs) 16:24, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
As stated on my user page and in the interests of transparency, I work with Mossack Fonseca and there is information that needs updating, which I feel would be beneficial to include: In the overview section and right-hand sidebar: The company has 43 offices worldwide, which needs to be consistent in both sections (currently 44 and 45 are cited). Currently, Mossack Fonseca is the first and only Panamanian law firm to receive the ISO 9001:2008 certification and employs 551 staff worldwide [source: http://www.legal500.com/firms/51479-mossack-fonseca-co/offices/54418-panama-/profile ] Images of the founders can be found here: Jurgen Mossack /info/en/?search=Talk:Mossack_Fonseca#/media/File:Jurgen_Mossack.jpg

I hope this helps, ping me a message if you have any questions. Many thanks Jandrade97 Jandrade97 ( talk) 16:29, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
@ FreeRangeFrog: Thanks for your time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jandrade97 ( talk • contribs) 16:15, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
@ Jandrade97: The staff strength is usual in an article on a company, but the ISO certification is not unless it has received news coverage (not press releases). To me, it does not seem notable. My guess is that you will have a better list of news coverage for the company than most. My view is that it would be helpful to provide more coverage of what a corporate services provider / registered agent does. If you have sources that describe those functions (preferably by reference to MF), please do share them. Thanks Bongo matic 04:57, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
In the wake of the Panama Papers, perhaps this should be locked to trolling edits? You know they're on their way.... Axslayer33 ( talk) 20:23, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
The policy is that pages should not be locked preemptively, only when substantial vandalism is occurring. Danrok ( talk) 17:38, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
"The policy is that pages should not be locked preemptively" This has already happened, I just removed an edit specifying the website to be of a parody site. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.37.192.92 ( talk) 11:28, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
As a bit of an experiment, I've added a table of pageviews to the header of this page. Curious what others think. (Currently set to 7 days data, but I'd switch to 30 after the recent spike passes). — Luis ( talk) 14:16, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
