I agree with zoloinwiki. If I should say anything positive about my plot
it is that it shows the very nice query and plotting facilities in
query.wikidata.org. It does not show an appropriate picture of the
occupation of the Panama Papers persons. And there seems to be loads of
people unfortunately misunderstanding it.
There is a good critique in Le Monde (though it is the first time a plot
of mine has been called "bidon" :-)

Sorry if that sounds grumpy, but if that involves such gross
misrepresentation, I can't say I am happy to see our data getting such
diffusion. The original blog post by Finn Årup Nielsen was fine, the
Independent article stilll sort of ok, but what seems to get public
success is the bullshit title and the decontextualized graph
