I like that bit about UBS being forced to give up US tax cheats. Implication is Eastern Europe is sliding off the cliff and the Swiss bankers will go with it since they lent a great deal of money to Eastern Europeans. Additionally they also must stop being a tax haven for tax cheats in Germany and the US. Kiss the Swiss banking system goodbye.
