Son of Emmett Till's killer in Panama Papers scandal


The name of a Mississippi businessman whose father killed Emmett Till has emerged in the Panama Papers scandal.

Harvey T. Milam of Ocean Springs, whose father, J.W., shot Till in 1955, appears in the more than 11 million leaked documents obtained by The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, which show heads of state, criminals and celebrities using secret hideaways in tax havens.

The FBI reopened the Till murder case in 2004, but no indictments resulted.

Creditors of a failed insurance company based in the Caribbean island of Nevis, Condor Insurance Ltd., claimed Harvey Milam and others cheated investors by fraudulently transferring the insurer’s assets to other companies. Milam and other defendants settled the case in 2012 without admitting any wrongdoing.

One of the Supreme Court Justices was held up at his island home there a few years ago.


Milam is still exploiting black people I see.
