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.

Most of them are perfectly legitimate account holders whose only crime is to have made a profit in their business endeavors.

Fixed that for you.

Like I said I consider that illegal but moral.

And exactly how will those be harmed (other than privacy)? I'm not tying to turn into an Obama-bot liberal on the issue. But these safe havens have been used to hide criminal money and activity for most of recorded banking history.

I just don't like money being able to buy privacy and secrecy that the average working stiff can't have. If my accounts can be pried into on the whim of the government - why do they get the privilege? Either make ALL of our acounts off-limits to prying, or open them all up (since ours are all already that way).
