Sounds like some of the obama pressure on the swiss bank is working. Hope it turns up some of his cronies.
I hope he doesn’t list the bottom 2,000. I don’t need the spotlight.
They don’t play around.
If proven true - punish per existing law. If proven untrue, make the source and those who perpetuate the information financially responsible for any direct costs (e.g., legal fees) and all indirect costs such as loss of value (e.g., drop in stock price or Swiss bank valuations), and any currency impacts, plus any social costs (e.g., unemployment insurance or similar), plus increased borrowing costs, and likely other aspects, that result during or as a result of the allegations.
It's the seriousness of the charge that matters.
For the record I don't have a Swiss bank acount but hope to have one someday...
He’s such a little attention whore. Maybe Sarah was getting to much press? Another ‘big deal’ release from wikibore.
Did it occur to you he might not have that specific information?
Looks like this guy learn a lesson from what happen to the UBS whistleblower.

Soros Julian, I want to know everywhere his money goes.
This could get interesting if he lives through it, lol.
One of the secrets to a happy life is to spend less than you make, at any level.
What a concept, do you think the government can learn that?
Nah, me neither.
So far all he's released have been a bunch of nothing burgers.
Look at the Tunisia revolution. Maybe the leaks will reveal how our leaders screw us.
If he wants to bring someone down... out of fairness... where is the birth certificate?
Would it matter? Some of these people aren’t exactly Upright citizens that play by the rules......Just the implication that they could have it and it might implicate a certain Tiger hunting judo choping ex Russian President would be enough to do the job....
I’ll bet the list will be cherry picked and major lefties will be left out.
He’s trying to ingratiate himself to the IRS.
Bet a healthy % are limousine liberals.
Only based on your own comment.
Oh, did you have to burst my bubble? Yes, it will be evil right winger billionaires.
Or 98 percent of of those in D.C. which are sell out MF's from both beltway parties.

Julian Arpege is collecting tons of untaxed, un-audited, unaccountable cash from all over the globe
