Perhaps this is some nasty little joke on us by the Swiss, for fucking with their banking system with that appalling over-reach last year where we demanded they give the IRS information on UBS clients Swiss banking laws prevent the bank from giving to any other nation. We played hardball in that case, so they pay us back by giving us another ugly, tawdry courtroom celebrity drama.
