I.R.S. Commissioner Doug Shulman warned U.S. taxpayers hiding money overseas that it was time to come clean with Uncle Sam.
This is what was implied by the Obama-Biden Presidential Campaign. Too bad that many of President Obama’s team of advisers, initially touted for its wealth of experience and qualifications, have come under the radar for this very “unamerican” activity. Nancy Killefer nominated for chief performance officer, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and health czar-designee Tom Daschle are all examples.
In the Vice-Presidential debates, Jo Biden had also hinted that Americans with money abroad were “unamerican.” What he implied was not merely the fact that they had money abroad but that it was stored in undeclared bank accounts and that they did not pay tax on interest earnings.
Switzerland has historically been a tax haven for Americans (and citizens of other nationalities) however this is about to come to an end as UBS, the largest bank in Switzerland, has agreed “to divulge the names of well-heeled Americans whom the authorities suspect of using offshore accounts at the bank to evade taxes. The bank admitted conspiring to defraud the Internal Revenue Service and agreed to pay $780 million to settle a sweeping federal investigation into its activities.” (New York Times)
Unlike in the United States, tax evasion is not a criminal offense under Swiss law. UBS’s offshore private banking business once employed private bankers in Lugano, Zurich and Geneva who referred clients to lawyers and accountants who set up secret offshore entities to conceal assets from the I.R.S. The bank has admitted that it urged some American clients to destroy paper trails to assets purchased with money hidden offshore in safe deposit boxes in Switzerland and encouraged them to use Swiss credit cards so the I.R.S. could not track purchases.
I.R.S. Commissioner Doug Shulman warned U.S. taxpayers hiding money overseas that it was time to come clean with Uncle Sam.
“People who have hidden unreported income offshore need to get right with their government. They should come forward and take advantage of our voluntary disclosure process,” Shulman said.
A voluntary disclosure does not necessarily get you completely off the hook because it does not automatically guarantee immunity from prosecution. However, it might result in avoiding prosecution. This practice does not apply to taxpayers with illegal source income.

Over approximately five years of hitting the
internet with a case that involves criminality by a major Swiss Bank
, Britain’s most prominent fraud lawyer and a regional police force
headed by one of Britains top policeman. ( Surely justice should
prevail.)
In fact the complete opposite even though the offences
committed are very serious.
Conspiring to Pervert the Course of Justice.
Perverting the Course of Justice.
Contempt of Court.—————— plus a dozen or
so smaller offences.
In the five years some 6-7million e-mails have been
forwarded to all Members of Parliaments in Britain and Switzerland,
every barrister and chambers in Europe .
Every law inforcement body in both countries , and
America. Even raised in Parliament twice.
The banking fraternity fully aware of this case still
decide to give the Private Banker of the Year Award to Ivan Pictet
— Pictet & Cie Bank. ( Him being the person most responsible
for the crimes committed by him and his bank partners. )
The legal fraternity decided that Monty Raphael of
Peters & Peters . London became an honourable Queens Counsellor
and to rub the salt in six months later made a Master of the Bench.
He also was guilty of all the above offences but so what. At this
rate he might become King by the end of the year.
The police ( West Yorkshire Police.) headed by Sir
Norman Bettison has not improved as a force on fighting crime. They
are now worse than the days of the Yorkshire Ripper , when they had
him in custody nine times and let him go. If it hadn’t been for the
South Yorkshire Police force catching the Ripper he would have still
been at large to day .
Then they wonder why the man in the street becomes angry
and decides to riot.
Even after five years of exposing their crimes on the
internet , they dare not take legal action to stop us — no
injunctions — no writs – they can’t risk going to jail.
All we can do is to continue pressing for justice and up
the pressure on the internet. For the next five years and beyond.

Swiss Bank
Accounts. Jan.. 2015.
Is your monies safe
in these accounts —- definitely NOT.
Would you get your
money back if every body decided to withdraw all their accounts –
NO WAY.
Economic Experts
say that there would only enough money to repay 50% of their clients.
Are you going to be
in the 50% — that loose your money.– Get it out NOW.
2012 — – June.
— Published in Anglo INFO .Geneva.— USA Trust Fund Investors were
sent false and fraudulent documents by Pictet Bank.Switzerland. in
order to collect large fees. ( Like MADOFF) —Even after the SEC in
the USA uncovered the fraud Pictet continued to charge fees and drain
whatever was left in these accounts. Estimated that $90,000,000
million lost in this Pictet Ponzi scheme.
2012 – – – July.
— De – Spiegel. — states – Pictet Bank uses a letterbox
company in
Panama
and a tax loophole involving investments in London to gain
German
millionaires as clients.
2012
– – – August —- German Opposition Leader accuses Swiss Banks of
“organised crime.”
All
the fines that crooked Swiss banks have incurred in the last few
years exceeds £75.Billion.
It
is also calculated that the secrecy ” agreements” with
regards to tax evation by their clients will cost the banks another
£450 Billion.( paid out of your monies.)
The
banks are panicking — the are quickly restructuring their banks
—- from partnerships —
to
” LIMITED COMPANIES.” —– this will probably mean that
in the future — they could
pay
you only 10% of your monies ” if you are one of the lucky ones”
—- and it be legal.

Jan
.—- 2015.
For almost two
decades we have strived to get justice for the injustice we have
suffered at the hands of a world renowned bank— PICTET & CIE.
BANK.
Two yorkshiremen
both running their own small family businesses trying to resolve the
problem by taking all the correct legal procedures to recover their
monies.
The matter was
raised in Parliament – twice– the FSA investigated the matter
concluding that PICTET had rogues operating in their London Bank —
but the rogues had left —saying no one left to prosecute.??? —–
so there.
We then
approached the Financial Ombudsman Service. (FOS) — our case was
dealt with by seven different people —- then our numerous E-Mails
were ignored — nobody would speak to us ——-so there.
We then asked the
SFO ( Serious Fraud Office.) to investigate our case —- the
criteria of our case ticked all their boxes. — we were instructed
not to send them
any
documents/evidence.—— in fact they wrote to us advising us to go
to the Citizen’s Advice Bureau.(CAB.)
Richard Alderman
the SFO boss —- who responded to our letter was the same man who
would not investigate the “ Madoff” scandal or the “Libor”
fiasco.
The MP’s
committee —- said he was sloppy— and the SFO was run like “
Fred Karno’s Circus” —– it was an office of fraud.—– so
there.
Our M.P.
approached our local Chief Constable to investigate—– he was
called—- Sir Norman Bettison— Chief Constable of West Yorkshire
Police —- a force that made “ Dad’s Army” look like the S.A.S.
They were inept – corrupt —malicious — from top to bottom. We
were criminally dealt with by the Forces Solicitor—- the Head of
the Economic Crime Unit —-and the Chief Constable —– so there.
We were then
advised to pass our complaint against West Yorkshire Police to the
I.P.C.C. – which we did — they advised us to make our complaint
to —- the West Yorkshire Police — we did with reluctance — all
we got was abuse and obfuscation. —– so there.
Sir Norman
Bettison —- The Forces solicitor— and the Head of the Economic
Crime —- have all been removed from their posts and facing criminal
allegations.
—— so there.
We even sought
justice through the Courts — culminating in a visit to the Court of
Appeal-London.— On leaving the Courts of Appeal that day our
barrister a “rising star” informed us — that if that was
British Justice then you can keep it. He quit the law and moved to
Canada —– so there.
A few years later
we learned that one of the judges ( Lord Justice.) in our case at the
Court of Appeal was related to a senior executive of the Pictet Bank
—–so there.
The Ministry of
Justice passed our case to Lord Myners to investigate — we would
rather have had Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck do it. — to this day we
don’t know
—whether he did
anything or not —- probably not — seeing that his wife was on the
Pictet Prix Board.
Pictet & Cie
.Bank — voted private bank of the year 2013.
Ivan Pictet —-
Voted banker of the year 2012. —- the senior partner — lied on
numerous occasions and had documents destroyed — also said genuine
documents were forgeries. —– so there.
Ivan Pictet in
Oct. 2013 —- Given the Legion of Honour — but saying that —-
honours were given to Hitler — Eichmann — Mussolini —Franco
— he’s in fitting company. —-so there.
MONTY
RAPHAEL.Q.C. — Peters & Peters.London. They were the banks
lawyers.
Monty
Raphael.Q.C. along with Ivan Pictet withheld crucial documents
requested by the High Court —- the FSA —- and the police Fraud
Squad. —-so there.
Monty
Raphael.Q.C. became an Honorary Queens Counsellor in March. 2012.
Monty
Raphael.Q.C. became a Master of the Bench in Nov.2012.
An expert in
Fraud —the Doyen of Fraud Lawyers. —– so there.
This says a lot
about Banks — the consensus of opinion is that they are highly paid
“crooks” —- no wonder they voted Ivan Pictet banker of the
year.
It appears that
crimes in the “establishment.” are honoured by their peers.
