I think one of the most interesting things about this is going to be comparing the reactions in different countries. Some countries will launch investigations to get their money back. Some countries might actually put some guys in prison as a warning.
My prediction for Finland is that absolutely nothing happens. We already had a similar case relating to Liechtenstein, and it was mostly an indication of deeply corrupt our country really is. First the tax officers slap clearly illegally low "punitive" taxes on those caught red-handed, enough so that a police investigation was asked on the behavior of the tax officers. That investigation was buried in almost complete silence by the police and then promptly forgotten in the media. At that point I lost all hope that this is going to get better anytime soon.
