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.

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.
