Hot damn, this is gonna be a gooooood cops and robbers story like a son of a bitch!
Switzerland was legendary for protecting the privacy of it's depositors but now the IRS, Dept. of Justice, and European authorities got the legal greenlight to go inside and see who's been depositing in order to determine if they've been hiding income.
Watch the panic begin!
I saw this coming years ago and with the economic disaster of the Bush Administration it was only a matter of time before they finally bullied their way into people's banking confidentiality.
Not all people stash their assets to avoid taxes. Most do it to prevent criminals from knowing they have money or in general for protection purposes like protection from lawsuits and predatory lawsuits.
Now, like our emails and other protections the government can dive right in and that confidential information will be up for grabs by crooks in government. Remember when the FBI got busted for not securing the emails they gleaned from using the software they had developed? What do you think will happen next?
On the other hand, people who stole money like no fucking tomorrow and lied through their teeth are due for some righteous justice pretty soon and that's alright with me.
