U.S. Justice Department indicts Swiss bank Wegelin »

The United States indicted Wegelin, the oldest Swiss private bank, on charges that it enabled wealthy Americans to evade taxes on at least $1.2 billion hidden in offshore bank accounts, the U.S. Justice Department said on Thursday.

The announcement, by federal prosecutors in Manhattan, represents the first time an overseas bank has been indicted by the United States for enabling tax fraud by U.S. taxpayers.

About time we settle the score with these enablers of anti-American, unpatriotic and treasonous weasels. My kids need to canvas the neighborhood to raise funds for supplies for their school while Thurston Howell III’s only concern is how best to trick out his vacation villa with gold leaf and Brazilian rainforest teak.
