... when did Swiss banks become honest?

edit: Maybe this is why repubs were going after the IRS so hard recently? Just to prevent this from proceeding? Still surprised to see banks cooperating though.

This is why they have been attacking the IRs for decades. They have had to step up their attacks because under Biden they actually got more funding to go after tax dodgers. And it looks like they are starting at the big ticket ones from the looks of their records.

But another piece of evidence is just that. And this one's pretty big, "Swiss bank account" is common day language.
