UBS: It's like a dog that's tasted the blood of its first victim

 

To comment the turn over of names of suspected U.S. tax dodgers who have held 4,450 secret accounts at banking giant UBS,  "It's like a dog that's tasted the blood of its first victim (...)It's clear that the concept of a perpetually safe tax haven is a fantasy that no longer exists" said Ron Geffner quoted by Washington Post. He is a former enforcement attorney at the Securities and Exchange Commission who now heads the financial services group at Sadis and Goldberg.

Let's read what said the Department of Justice to comment the agreement:

The Swiss Government has agreed to review and process additional requests for information from other banks regarding their account holders to the extent that such a request is based on a pattern of facts and circumstances equivalent to those of the UBS case.
