"Of course the Panama Papers are also the reason I used the word "was" and not "is". Now crypto currencies make this sort of privacy available to the rest of us."

Hashtag - "As Much Privacy, Security, and Freedom as you can afford."

The important aspect of bringing parity between the rich elites and the masses as far as advanced technological capability (vis a vis privacy, security, currency liberty, and all other fun stuff) is that it facilitates the only forseeable way to get law/{s,enforcement} to begin to balance justice amongst those classes. That and the Leaker method you highlighted. But absent the ability to conjure a Snowden, the way to get good law wrt to tech based privacy/currency-liberty is to enable the masses to be as nefarious as the monied elites previously were. If the shenanigans are only being pulled by the 0.1%, it's too easy for them to get their mainstream media pal$ to hype the narrative that better laws aren't needed. That and the imbalance was clearly a form of injustice to begin with. Of course there will always be lots of ways the rich will be more powerful, but it seems worthwhile to level the bigger playing fields as much as and whenever possible.
