Three Swiss bankers accused of conspiring with American clients to hide more than $420 million from the tax-collecting U.S. Internal Revenue Service were indicted, the U.S. Attorney's Office in Manhattan said on Wednesday.
The indictment named Stephan Fellmann, Otto Huppi and Christof Reist, all former client advisers with an unnamed Swiss bank. None of the bankers have been arrested, authorities said.
I assume that the bankers are still in Switzerland. But here is my question. Some of you clowns seem to think that we still live in the land of the free/home of the brave, yet why is our gov't chasing down cash all over the world and going so far as to indict non-US citizens for practicing baking rules that are perfectly legal in their sovereign home country (in this case Switzerland)?
You all feel comfortable with your gov't going into other countries and essentially regulating the banking industry of other countries when we can't even get our own banking system (see Federal Reserve) regulated/audited???
