Recently, a treasure trove of documents known as the Paradise papers hit the internet.
The leaked documents show the secretive world of offshore financing.
The papers have caused worldwide outrage, after prominent figures like Wilbur Ross, U2’s frontman Bono, and even Nelson Mandela were shown to have secretive businesses operating under questionable circumstances.

“These are people and things that have a big impact on your lives and how you’re educated,” Chance said.
