The leak of 11.5 million documents from a Panamanian law firm has revealed a vast, deeply rooted infrastructure for hiding money and has caused embarrassment around the world. The Prime Minister of Iceland has resigned. Vladimir Putin has gone on television to deny that his assets are hidden in a shell company owned by a friend. The President of China has demanded censorship of reporting on the "Panama Papers." One hundred news organizations have access to the files, including Fusion, a joint venture of ABC and Univision. Alice Brennan is an investigative reporter and producer of an upcoming Fusion documentary called, Dirty Little Secrets.
