Sorry to see the Swiss fold under the pressure (which is not an endorsement of Swiss banking practices - past and present - in *all* cases, just to make that clear).

I've read, from a reputable source, that government hackers are in the Swiss accounts anyway - the Swiss might not have had a choice.
