As previously reported: [1]
- UBS AG Whistleblower Birkenfeld was swiftly imprisoned, never able to file his False Claims Act complaint, not released on bail pending appeal.
- The culprits at UBS-AG were never prosecuted.
- The vast majority of estimated 40,000 account holder names were never released by UBS-AG as part of an agreement reached between the US and Swiss governments...
In the meanwhile the Swiss government appears to retaliate against the leaker of banking data from outside Switzerland... in a matter where the Swiss government has no jurisdiction...
Conduct of the US government in this matter is inconsistent with Equal Protection, or the interests of the People of the United States...
WikiLeaks claims US and Swiss struck UBS deal:
A document revealed by whistleblowing internet site WikiLeaks appears to show that Switzerland struck a deal with the United States in 2009 to help embattled bank UBS.

Swiss ex-banker faces new probe over WikiLeaks data:
Police questioned former banker Rudolf Elmer on Thursday over possible fresh breaches of Swiss bank law for giving data to WikiLeaks this week, a day after he was found guilty of violating bank secrecy.
'Blum questioned whether Swiss authorities had any solid basis for believing the discs' contents included data from Switzerland. "The Swiss are just angry because of the attention (Elmer's latest actions) have put on their system of secrecy. I think that attention is well deserved," Blum said.
Switzerland's bank secrecy helped it build a $2-trillion wealth management industry...'

If Assange does die due to an alleged suicide, it will be as legitimate as Vince Foster's suicide was.

Yep the house of cards are starting to tumble, sit back and watch it all come crashing down to the ground, they must be flushed out from where ever they are and not allowed to hide anywhere, these corrupt bastards must face the wrath of their own satanic laws, don't no one ever give up, hunt each and everyone of them down and don't afford them any peace until they have answered to their misdeeds and paid the penalty of their crimes, they are the ones that have stolen the food from your children's mouths.
