Maybe you should reread your own OP
With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

Our tax evaders use Swiss, Liechtenstein, etc. bank accounts because there, tax evasion is not a crime. So law enforcement can't get access to the account information.Originally posted by Patroklos
Though this guy deserves prison time as well.
Well, in the U.S., violating Liechtenstein banking secrecy laws is not a crime, so no jail time for this guy
(unless he goes home).

My guess is that he's in some place like Germany. This story was bigger faster in Germany. It's only just started in the US.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, 1891Comment

So is anyone that we've heard of on the list? Any elected officials? That's the meat of the story, not the disgruntled snitch.The undeserving maintain power by promoting hysteria.Comment

A tax cheat. And Marc Rich wasn't so much a tax cheat as he was a really big campaign contributor.Originally posted by DanS

The USA already has it own UBS source, former UBS banker Bradley Birkenfeld already convicted of aiding tax evasion and now singing to the feds. A Senator on the committee investigating UBS already is publicly suggesting the the federal bank regulators revoke all UBS licenses to do business in the USA.Last edited by Lefty Scaevola; July 17, 2008, 17:06.Gaius Mucius Scaevola Sinistra

A friend of mine is doing his MBA internship at UBS in NYC. I'm sure he wouldn't be happy if that happened.Originally posted by Lefty Scaevola

Not yet, but probably soon.Originally posted by Rufus T. Firefly
What jail? As a foreign national, he didn't break any of our laws. And there's a whole special immigrant visa category just for snitches, so I suspect he'll be getting his green card soon and not heading back home. Che's right, he's set.
In concrete.No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.Comment

What an *******. So let me get this straight - he sold the banking records of people who were breaking no local laws to foreign governments, which will prosecute those people.
It seems to me that anyone affected by this has a pretty ironclad civil action against both this individual and possibly even the bank in question.Follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/DaveDaDouche

Bank, possibly... but the person himself may be shielded under US law.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
