SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- The Department of Justice said late Wednesday that Swiss bank UBS AG (UBS:UBS) agreed to pay $780 million in fines, penalties, interest and restitution over criminal charges it helped certain U.S. taxpayers evade taxes. UBS also agreed to exit the business of providing banking services to U.S. clients with undeclared accounts and to turn over the identities of U.S. customers with such accounts.

Will we be able to add more names to Zer0's list of tax cheats/evaders.
Hmmmmm, let me see. $780 million would be 1/1,000th of the bill just passed. We need a thousand more UBS’s. What? They’re falling like flies? Ok, then. Let’s get Hillary to get China to finance the rest. After all, it IS her maiden voyage as Sec of State.
Don't worry. I can promise you that only the names of Republicans will be leaked and or reported.
This might become really interesting if the names are released.
I have never seen anything like the focus on high level tax cheats/evaders in 4 decades of monitoring this stuff.
Get used to it. They’ll be working their way down the food chain soon enough.
“Don’t worry. I can promise you that only the names of Republicans will be leaked and or reported.”
You might have been totally correct even last year. However, something is happening and the rats and in particuliar Zer0’s tax cheating buddies have been dragged out into the mud surrounding their sty.
I did the same math. :)
Hopefully, they will be working at the top of the tax fraud food chains for a long time.
Nah...the big & easy money is with the middle class. They can’t defend themselves as well.
Heck The Dem's will get job offers in the NEW Obamanation and at least 3 RINO Repub's will to. I'd like confirm my suspicions about Civil Service employee's, School District administrators and current/former elected officials to see how many are on the list also.
To much Tax money is unaccounted for virtually every where in the country. Can't remember just how many Billions they can't account for.
And must remember BBBBBABIT and the magical disappearing BIA Billions!

Horrors——I hope no “familiar-sounding” names like, ah, Clinton, surface (snicker).
Silly me-——names that sound like that have already been deleted (rotfl).
