Wikileaks To Name Swiss Bank Tax Evaders
eldavojohn writes "The old cliche that the rich and corrupt hold all their money in Swiss bank accounts (to avoid taxation) may finally have a bit of transparency, as the news today is that Wikileaks has been handed a list of account holders tendered by Rudolf Elmer, former banker of Julius Baer. Julian Assange promises a 'full revelation' while Elmer cited his motivation as being: 'I want to let society know how this system works. It's damaging society.' This appears to be real, as Mr. Elmer is soon to appear before a Zurich regional court on charges of coercion as well as violations of Switzerland's strict banking secrecy laws. The public may soon find out that their favorite celebrity, politician or employer doesn't feel responsible to contribute financially to the commonwealth at the expense of privacy."
I guess Assange didn't like that the swiss bank PostFinance closed his account.
Seriously, Identity theft?
WTF happened to Terrorism and Espionage????
This piece of dog-shit with legs needs to be gunned down with his head mounted at the very top of a nice sharp pike - perhaps while still alive and screaming from the gunshot wound as it enters his rectum.
I'd bet just about anything he only exposes one political/national side's leaders in this - and not because theres only one corrupt side either.
guess someone has a hidden bank account...
