One is a U.S. business owner who hid atax-evasion scheme "well into the sevenfigures."
Another is an elderly American who kept
money in an offshore account over fear for
the security of the U.S. banking system.
And then there are the children of parents
who survived the Holocaust and established aforeign trust account on their behalf.
Their attorney says all had undeclared bank
accounts at UBS, (UBS) the Swiss banking
giant sued Thursday by U.S. authorities in an
escalated demand for the identities of owners
of approximately 52,000 such accounts in which Americans
secretly held at least $14.8 billion.
They're also among a recent rush of American UBS customers
who contacted the IRS about their accounts, hoping to gain
leniency for their failure to pay years of federal taxes on the
secret holdings.
"The rush is on," says Robert McKenzie, a Chicago attorneywho's representing the three UBS account holders plus 14
others seeking similar tax settlements regarding accounts at the
Swiss bank.
The IRS' message is clear: "You better come in now before yourname comes out," said McKenzie, who declined to identify his
clients but agreed to discuss general outlines of their cases.
The developments are part of a historic legal struggle that has
cracked Switzerland's renowned reputation for banking secrecy
and cast a spotlight on what a 2008 Senate hearing identified as
$100 billion in annual tax evasion by American owners of foreign
accounts.
U.S. authorities filed the civil lawsuit in Miami, one day after
reaching a deferred-prosecution deal in which UBS agreed to a$780 million settlement of criminal charges it helped American
customers evade federal taxes. The agreement required thebank to turn over identities of some of those clients.
Thursday's civil lawsuit asked a federal court to enforceso-called John Doe summonses served on UBS last year for the
names of the undeclared account owners, along with details of
their holdings.
The court demand also cited roughly 52,000 suspect accounts,
up from 19,000 federal authorities alleged last year.
Federal authorities upped the legal ante after UBS' criminal case
acknowledgement of a 2000-2008 scheme in which its bankers
used encrypted laptop computers and counter-surveillancetactics during trips to the U.S. in which they helped American
clients evade taxes.

Oh come on already! T he attorneys won't reveal names of those who KNOWINGLY
failed to pay income taxes! Must have been big money and VERY big names to get
such special treatment! Funny, people can get away with tax evasion, but people who
have a hand in giving people the keys to houses with bad mortgages attatched, just
get bailed out.

Just obtain the list of names and post them for us all to see. We will probably be very surprised howthose who pass the laws, appropriate and spend our money are little affected by the common person's
money woes. Being a multimillionaire don't make you immune to the mess we are in now but it sure
makes it easier than some poor dude or dudette trying to live an $50,000 a year. The country club on
the hill passes legislation that has little to no affect on them because of their wealth. Trust me, nobody
leaves congress broke but most do leave millionaires many times over even if they weren't millionaires
when they got elected to the country club. If you want to investigate corruption, start in the House or
Senate and see what you dig up. It would be a scandal that would shock the American people andsome in the world.

"It would be interesting to watch who fleas the Country now. You might find that we will have a tough
time filling Board Room seats pretty soon, let's call it the "brain bubble"."
= = = == == = =
They've already been leaving for years. They are not stupid. And Bermuda and the Caymans are soyesterday. The real rich went on to Switzerland. Who wouldn't?
And if I did, it is not your concern whether I have 1 penny or 1 million pennies in my Swiss bank
account.
