Listening to NPR on the way to work and heard about the Swiss bank busted for helping hide money from taxation.

Something like 2-3,000 US citizens involved and they have the main swiss guy up on charges with a 800million settlement (around that) decided.

Main topic was whether he would squeal and about how much more and furthermore if charges would start to be brought against the US citizens that participated.

Regardless, I honestly freaking hope they go after them but doubt they will. However, it would be hilarious to see names start rolling out that are either politicians or notable political backers etc.

Unfortunately, I suspect both parties are heavily involved and so a "bi-partisan" solution to push it under the rug and not prosecute will be the result.

Trust me, the list would be littered with names you'd easily recognize.

Politicians are the lowest form of human life -- "Do as I say, not as I do, because only I know what's best for you." What would be TRULY shocking is if NONE of their names were on the list......and trust me, that's impossible.
