Often, it seems as if America is so eager and desperate to smash the innocent, that it will destroy itself in the process.SwissTechienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1519969502186924526.post-6780587746005445942013-12-24T14:35:57.084-06:002013-12-24T14:35:57.084-06:00Did the US make it clear that category 2 was only ...Did the US make it clear that category 2 was only for "acted criminals"? Of course not. Do you have proof that the innocent banks are guilty? Of course not. The whole reason why the US pressured innocent banks into category 2 is because it wants to squeeze money out of them even though they did nothing wrong. You said yourself that the purpose of category 2 is to force innocent banks to "pay high fines" since they did nothing wrong.SwissTechienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1519969502186924526.post-17769000281003511492013-12-22T08:10:43.984-06:002013-12-22T08:10:43.984-06:00One thing for sure, though: the banks' commen...One thing for sure, though: the banks' comments about only having 400 US customers or being unsure their customers are tax compliant is meaningless spin. The real question is their answer to the corporate criminal liability question you posed. It's a relatively high standard and banks going into category 2 are admitting they acted criminally. Merely having had US customers was not a crime. They deserve to pay high fines if they were so dirty to meet this criminal standard. If not, they have plenty of alternatives.Againnoonenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1519969502186924526.post-22612826511215655732013-12-22T07:56:31.862-06:002013-12-22T07:56:31.862-06:00Swiss banks probably collectively spent a small fo...Swiss banks probably collectively spent a small fortune on legal fees for what you just provided free of charge. <br /><br />But there might be more here. Maybe. <br /><br />For example, the banks are scared of employee conduct and client disclosures of which they may not be presently aware. The banks have until 12/31 to protect themselves with legal certainty by joining category 2. <br /><br />Then they have another apprx. 6 months to move to catehory 3 if they want. If several months from now they discover a problem and did not join category 2 now, then they would be stuck. <br /><br />One.problem they currently have is getting outside opinions to back ip their belief of no criminal wrongfoing at the corporate level based on the analysis you just did. They may need time for this, so they can join catehory 2 now to be safe and when they obtain a competent opinion later they can explain this as their reason to switch from category 2 to 3. <br /><br />Againnoonenoreply@blogger.com
