Do you think the global outage is truly an 'oops' or do you think something deeper happened and it's a dry run for something bigger later? I didn't even know it went out.

Pandora Papers is through the same group that did the Panama Papers, which was a heavily curated release designed to push a political agenda against Russia?
Which is precisely why I said what I said in my first post.
Ideally, I would like it if some of the members of the ICIJ released the papers publicly so that people could crowdsource, investigate, and find connections. In reality, it almost seems as if these "journalists" are more concerned with getting credit and winning prizes than they are discovering the truth, though.
The information itself is far too large for any group of independent investigative journalists to sift through. Even if they had thousands of members, we're talking about 12 million documents. In the unlikely event that they somehow are capable of sifting through it all, their resources are spread so thin that there's a high probability that important information will be missed altogether. There's no way any single individual can know what they're looking for after all.
This should be common sense, in my opinion. That's why I believe it's about glory-chasing.
While much of what they've researched previously has all involved tax crap, with a cache of documents that large there's bound to be information that can be used to glean connections to other things as well.
