There were revelations in the Panama Papers, the Paradise Papers, the Luxembourg leaks and the Cum-Ex trading scandal, as there were in Dr. Stewart's own research. There appear to be well-paid professional networks acting, in some senses, as enablers. While fines can sometimes be imposed, we rarely see any kind of criminal sanction. Do we need harsher penalties for those who are willing to act as enablers within this kind of system?
