Bradley Birkenfeld is the most significant financial whistleblower of all time, so you might think he\u2019d be cheering on the disclosures in the new Panama Papers leaks. But today, Birkenfeld is raising questions about the source of the information that is shaking political regimes around the world.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe CIA I\u2019m sure is behind this, in my opinion,\u201d Birkenfeld said.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2013 From the CNBC article:\u00a0Swiss Banker Whistleblower: CIA Behind Panama Papers<\/a><\/p>\n

Last Friday, I published a post titled,\u00a0Was the Panama Papers \u201cLeak\u201d a Russian Intelligence Operation?<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0Here\u2019s some of what I wrote:<\/p>\n

Initially, this seemed to be a theory worth exploring, but in the following days I\u2019ve come to a far different conclusion. The primary divergence\u00a0between what I currently believe and what Mr. Murray proposed is that I do not think the leaker was a genuine whistleblower motived by the public interest.\u00a0I think the\u00a0leaker was working on behalf of a sophisticated intelligence agency.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The fact that we seem to know nothing about \u201cJohn Doe\u201d concerns me. Say what you will about Edward Snowden, but he came out publicly shortly after his whistleblowing and offered himself up for the world to judge. His life, career and personality have been put on full display, and each and every one of us has had the opportunity to decide for ourselves whether his motivations were noble and pure\u00a0or not.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

With the Panama Papers\u2019 \u201cJohn Doe\u201d we are given no such opportunity, and in fact, the whole thing reads very much like a script concocted by some big budget\u00a0intelligence agency. Once I started coming around to this\u00a0conclusion, the obvious choice was U.S. intelligence; given the lack of implications to powerful Americans, the clownishly desperate\u00a0attempts to smear Putin, and the appearance\u00a0of Soros, USAID, Ford Foundation, etc, linked organizations to the reporting.<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
