They will biterly fight it, but UBS had over 5 billion quietly funneled to it through the AIG bailout. They also have a very large business presence in the US that they generate a big portion of their revenue from. Thats their building in mid-town Mahattan with the logo on top.

And here's a pic of the massive tradefloor at their Stamford, Connecticut UBS campus were they had over 4000 employees working.

Swiss banking to Obama: ‘Screw you, buddy. Americans will be so poor in 5 years that it won't matter anyway. We need to preserve our franchise for the sane world.”

“Asia is the future. Screw the USA. They don't have any money anymore...” Swiss bankers.

Make a statement like, “I think the US Government should be careful about forcing these accounts open. I don’t think Mr. Dodd, Mr. Frank, Mrs. Pelosi, Mr. Reid, and Mr. Clinton would appreciate an account with their name being exposed.” (I’m sure there are people with those names that have accounts whether they are the congress critters or not. And I’m sure they wouldn’t want their accounts made public if they did. :)

Sidenote. Aren’t these “numbered” accounts. How do they have names attached at all?

Because heaven forbid the US fed.gov shouldn’t get its greasy paws all over the $16 trillion in offshore accounts.

The US Government is trying to sue a sovereign country out of existence. You used to have to invade them and kill them all to destroy them. Now you just need a couple of lawyers.

Hopefully the Swiss will stand firm.

What fools those Democrats be.

Picking a fight with Swiss bankers is the epitome of financial foolishness.

Numbered accounts are not anonymous. The term just means that the information about who owns the account is only accessible by senior bank executives.

Thanks PapaBear. What I know of these accounts comes from Hollywood.

Tax inherited wealth above, say, $1m and watch the Kerrys, Kennedys, etc. run.

They shelter it in foundations, thereby bypassing the death tax. It’s only the middle class that gets hit with the death tax.

Robert Wolf, CEO of UBS Americas

The skeleton in Obama’s money closet

http://www.canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/4088

Robert Wolf, CEO of UBS Americas, who has bundled more than $370,850 for Barack Obama so far this year, is one of the most embarrassing skeletons in BO’s money closet, now that the financial institution Wolf heads up in America has been outed in The Nation’s Attack of the Global Pirate Bankers.

Sweet isn't it!

A war between the Obama Fascist Regime and the Swiss? Whose side do you imagine Hugo Chavez, the Castro brothers, and Danny Ortega are on?

Is it too late to move to Switzerland and join the West and the winning side? I'd rather be on the team with the Gnomes of Zurich than with the Kenyan Brotherhood!

:’) If they’d followed my suggestions, all the accounts would be numbered 1394, and the investigation would go nowhere.
