Dad is handling those purchases ;-)
I bought silver. And rice, lots of rice.
I guess the Fascists have risen to power in Switzerland, too.
I can predict with 100% accuracy that these banks involved will no longer be big players on the world stage. Who will want to bank with them after this?
Also it would appear that the government will, in the not-too-distant future, begin to lose the confidence of the banking community. Turning their backs on a centuries-old tradition will not be met with a warm reception.
Is nothing sacred in these times?
CA....
The problem is United Bank of Switzerland (USB). They have a lot of toxic debt and also assets in the US. The US government has threatened in effect to seize their assets. So those ever discrete Swiss bankers are simply saving their own skins and telling their US clients to GGF. An old client of mine always called the Swiss the jackals of Europe. She absolutely detested the Swiss. Perhaps she was right after all.
Oh, just great! Between you and me, there’s going to be a gold-rush run on rolls of nickles now, LOL!
I want to see a list, so I can figure out how many are Democratic contributors.

as I recall UBS never actually used it to trade energy....it just kind of dried up and blew away once the court allowed it to be “sold”, very very early into the bankruptcy for next to nothing but future royalties which amounted to nothing....
“I so dearly hopa hopa hopa that there are Dem’s in that group ... big important Dem’s ... Pelosi for one ....”
Do you honestly think that if they are we are going to hear about it?
I figure that the clintons have at least a couple of billion in numbered Swiss accounts, from their days in the governor’s mansion, Mena Airport, and the White House. What are the odds that any of it will come out?
LOL!
Shhhhhh, don’t tell anyone else.
You handle WI, I’ll handle MI.
Depends on what news service ... might hear it from some British paper or maybe, just maybe FOX? Certainly on Rush.
My thought was why these people did not opt for a smaller private bank in Switzerland.
Maybe not.
It’s illegal to melt them down
As of June 13, 2008, the value of the metal in a United States nickel coin reached $0.06013, an 20.3% premium over its face value.[7] This was due to the rising price of copper and nickel and the decline in value of the United States dollar.[8] In an attempt to avoid losing large quantities of circulating nickels to melting, the United States Mint introduced new interim rules on December 14, 2006 criminalizing the melting and export of cents and nickels. Violators of these rules can be punished with a fine of up to $10,000, five years imprisonment, or both.[9]

“Depends on what news service ... might hear it from some British paper or maybe, just maybe FOX? Certainly on Rush.”
And how are they going to find out?
I don’t think the Govt. will release the names. Unless they are well known conservatives or Republicans, of course.
I would bet the ranch that there will be cover ups for the “right” people by the IRS.
4 Swiss banks were specifically named. You are correct there, MSF.
As I have posted on this forum many times...
Lead is a hazardous material. It is highly recommended that any and all lead be encased in some other material, such as copper.
As it’s been said “the truth will out”.... hopefully ....
Somebodies did’nt donate quite enough to the “Bamamachine....
Im thinking the whole Clinton Crime Family, from Chelsea and Roger, to Hugh and Tony Rodham.
“I don’t see this country surviving more than a couple more years, We had a good run”
Okay, I guess we should all just suicide out now!
