Well, no. But as part of a lawsuit UBS has agreed to divulge the names of suspected tax evaders. Is there no honor among thieves? That’s a real disappointment. I always had visions of one day slipping off to Zermatt after making a deposit with my private banker in Zurich. I would not willfully defraud the government, per se, but I’m a little disappointed that the option is no longer there. I supposed the Swiss still have the Alps, chocolate, watches, and a faint chance of the large hedron collider actually working, but I imagine there will be fewer Maseratis crusing around Lake Geneva this summer. Oh well, I guess there’s always Antigua.
