Why bother paying the ransom ?

Those who haven't hidden their tracks by now will soon face the effects of a policy announced at a G20 summit a few years ago, where it was announced that account-details will automatically be shared between the tax offices of signatory countries.

From 2017, Lichtenstein (and others) will start data-sharing and from 2018 more countries will follow.
