Default Re: Whistleblower Goes To Prison, illegal Swiss tax cheats walk free

Newsletter Update - Bradley Birkenfeld Fact Sheet

Mr. Birkenfeld did what whistleblowers do first; as documented in *e-mails and correspondence* sent within the bank starting in June of 2005 he went to his supervisors at work as soon as he discovered UBS was violating the law. He did this in good faith - not to gain a reward or to turn UBS in to the authorities - but to fix the problems he discovered. He followed all UBS internal compliance procedures and reported his concerns up the chain of command. On May 24, 2006, UBS general counsel closed the investigation, and UBS did nothing to address Mr. Birkenfeld’s complaint. http://www.whistleblowers.org/storag..._and_memos.pdf
