Yeah... got to protect all those thieves and others who secret away truckloads of money out of reach of the Feds who are pursuing them.

If you have probable cause that a crime has been committed, the Swiss will grant information on a case by case basis.
What the IRS wants, however, is unfettered access to the account information without any evidence of wrongdoing. They are on a fishing trip.
Hopefully the Swiss will stand up to the jackbooted scum bag blackmailing extortionists at the IRS.
