UK Pursues Tax Evaders Using Stolen Bank Details

Posted by timothy on from the state-vs.-man dept.

Andrew Smith writes "The UK taxman (HM Revenue & Customs) is reportedly using a stolen list of bank details to pursue wealthy individuals with off-shore accounts. The list was stolen by an employee of HSBC, and gave details of the bank's customers with money in Swiss accounts. The bank employee fled to France, and the authorities there passed the details on to the UK tax collection agency."

    Considering government bloat is the fastest way to hemorrhage money I agree. In Canada it take 4 people to pay for the job of 1 civil servant. It's probably around 6:1 in the US, government makes no money, it creates no money, all it does it take and spend another persons.
