It isn't the case that nothing happened. That one journalist who was most closely involved in it all got blown up in a car bomb, and all the other interests clamped down and made it harder and mor lethal for other journalists to follow suit. Yay for Israeli and Argentinian zero day exploits, anyone can buy acccess to your phone!!

Do you have a link? Looks like Bastian Obermayer is still alive.

They're thinking of Daphne Caruana Galizia, a Maltese journalist who uncovered the involvement of several Maltese politicians and who was then murdered with a car bomb a year later https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daphne_Caruana_Galizia

You're right, I think I'd read stories about some other journalist being targeted and killed after the Panama Papers. It seems like the latest news is that the main journalist was not killed, but people are still looking into the specifics of what happened.

There was also the Paradise Papers, and the Pandora Papers.
