    Looks like the Liechtenstein list has some names of American citizens on it. It is now in the possession of the IRS. Could get interesting on this side of the pond as well.

    An excerpt from the WSJ...

    Liechtenstein Hid Americans' Assets
    By GLENN R. SIMPSON
    February 22, 2008; Page A13

    WASHINGTON -- Dozens of Americans had accounts at a Liechtenstein bank at the center of a tax-evasion scandal in Europe, according to a person involved in international inquiries into the bank.

    The person confirmed a statement by the Senate's top foe of offshore tax havens, who said yesterday he believes "many U.S. citizens" have assets hidden in LGT Bank and plans to investigate the matter.

    The Internal Revenue Service is in possession of LGT's account records, and tax authorities in at least four other countries are investigating, the person added, naming the United Kingdom, Australia, France and Canada.
    I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891
