Mossack Fonseca, the Panamanian law firm whose internal documents fueled a yearlong investigation into offshore hidden wealth by more than 100 news organizations, is unlikely to get out of this hole without some help.
But the firm, which boasts over 500 staff in offices as far flung as Samoa and Seychelles, still hasn’t hired outside legal counsel, a spokeswoman said this week. Its founder, Jürgen Mossack, says the firm is the victim of an illegal hack and has done nothing wrong, and he has filed a complaint with Panama’s attorney general.
