Note:  The following story was based upon original research by Parish & Company.  The Guardian had contacted me after reviewing work I did for Bloomberg and the Wall Street Journal regarding the Renaissance Technologies hedge fund in addition to the analysis of various political candidates financial statements including Mitt Romney, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.

Jon Swaine was particularly interested in taxation issues regarding offshore accounts and did a superb job of studying the impact of blocker corporations, tax exempt foundations and their related impacts on taxes, including the Unrelated Business Income Tax (UBIT).

What Swaine did not tell me was that they had the files from a Bermuda based law firm to corroborate the analysis.  This analysis became the cornerstone piece in what the Guardian came to call the "Paradise Papers."
