ZURICH, Switzerland -- An American claims lawyer who helped to force Swiss banks into a $1.25 billion settlement for Nazi victims had to abandon a news conference because of a hostile crowd.
Edward Fagan had to make his retreat on Monday after announcing to reporters that he would file a multi-billion suit against top Swiss and U.S. banks for propping up South Africa's former apartheid regime.

"The truth is we just opened a gaping wound," Fagan said. "This is a real claim."
======================================
Mr. Fagan, I suspect that someone may soon open a gaping wound in you. Get off the stage.

Give the guy an inch and he takes a mile. I am with the Swiss here. He can go back home and sue his neighbor if he is running out of things to do. Isn't there enough hate for lawyers in the United States?

suspect that someone may soon open a gaping wound in you. My thoughts exactly. Fagan IS a gaping wound where his integrity ought to be.

CITI will also be sued over this... Coming soon to a court house near you. It is kind of cool that the Swiss will give our govt the justification to throw the suit out... After all, if the "enlightened" Europeans can do it, why cant we? It is also nice that they are front-running the 'reparations' suit.

"The truth is we just opened a gaping wound," Fagan said. "This is a real claim." The truth is this man probably has swiss accounts and he is using them to kill people in Africa in the now reigning black appartheid regime, from South Africa, Zimbabwe to even Affirmative Action in the US.
