Day of Reckoning? Super Rich Tax Cheats Outed by Bank Clerk

Hundreds of super-rich American tax cheats have, in effect, turned themselves in to the IRS after a bank computer technician in the tiny European country of Liechtenstein came forward with the names of US citizens who had set up secret accounts there, according to Washington lawyers investigating the scheme.

Heinrich Kieber, a bank computer technician in Liechtenstein came forward with the names of US citizens who had set up secret accounts there, according to Washington lawyers investigating the scheme. He has been branded a thief by the government of Liechtenstein for violating the country's bank secrecy laws.

The bank clerk, Heinrich Kieber, has been branded a thief by the government of Liechtenstein for violating the country's bank secrecy laws. He is now in hiding but scheduled to testify to the Senate's Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations Thursday via a video statement from a secret location, according to Congressional investigators.

Aides for committee chairman Carl Levin (D-MI) are scheduled to provide reporters with a background briefing later this morning in Washington on the committee's investigation of tax haven banks in Liechtenstein and Switzerland.


As elehhhhna points out in her response (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=102&topic_id=3397067&mesg_id=3397164) , Phil Gramm is Vice Chairman of UBS.... hmmmmmm

At least it's not another Obama VP thread. That would be a reach across an aisle too far.

2. If he is, they should sit on the information until after the Repuke convention.
Don't give them an excuse to replace him as their nominee.

4. Not to worry.
He'll be "an apparent suicide" before he can testify.
