2. How many countries involved

3. Total money involved

4. What is the biggest best tax heaven

5. Can we compare the corruption with human development index and make an argument that would correlate corruption with bad conditions in that country

6. Who are the biggest cheaters and where they live

7. What role Fortune 500 companies play in this game

I need your help to make this world corruption free in the age of NLP and Big Data
