In an initiative from pres. Obama, the US and the other countries in the G20 try to end the existence of bank secrets.
I don't know how far this will be going but this might be a big economic disaster for countries like Switzerland, as well as many of the small tax paradizes.
At the moment I don't know if these measures will help combatting the economic crisis but that was of course not the goal of this plan.
The only critiscism I have on this is 'why not earlier?'
(me and my complot theorie happy brain of course think that many people had big interests in these banking secrets......I mean, war on drugs and on terror but at the same time not minding that criminals and terrorist have secret bank accounts where they store their profits/money used for terrorism).
Any thoughts?
