UBS says 47,000 accounts held by Americans avoiding taxes; US may pursue charges against bank

WASHINGTON (AP) -- UBS AG now says it had about 47,000 accounts held by Americans who didn't pay U.S. taxes on their assets, but Switzerland's biggest bank is providing the names of only 300 American clients to the U.S. government in a showdown over secrecy.

2. The ones with the smallest accounts...

and least power. Those poor bastards.

As an aside, since UBS will not turn over all 47k names they should lose their charter and no longer be allowed to perform any business operations within United States jurisdiction. Any bank found wiring money to UBS accounts will also subsequently lose their charters. Make the rich fly cash in suitcases through customs like the real criminals that they are!
