Backstory: First U.S. arrest made in UBS offshore case
On February 19, 2009, we reached an agreement with UBS that included, for the first time, the disclosure of the identities of taxpayers that were illegally using Swiss bank accounts to evade U.S. taxes. Today is the first of the prosecutions resulting from that disclosure, but it will not be the last. It is our duty to those who pay their legal share of taxes to ensure that others do not use offshore schemes to evade payment of their taxes.

I look forward to finding out who these fine, patriotic Americans are and whether they are receiving bailouts from American taxpayers.
This is going to be very interesting. Everyone understands cheating.
Go U.S. Attorneys. So glad to have you back.
