Time to crowdsource some comedy from your creative minds, all at the expense of the Swissies:
We know that UBS, Switzerland’s largest bank, has rolled over and is divulging the dirt on 4,450 accounts to settle a lawsuit with the United States. This is forcing the Swiss government to divest itself of its UBS position. Those 4,450 names of American clients will go straight to the IRS for prosecution and disgorgement of back taxes — plus interest and penalties.
Question: What does the acronym U B S stand for?
U Better Sing
Unreliable Bankers Swiss
Unexpected Benefits of Secrets?

UBS only agreed to disclose 5000 of 52,000 accounts. Who are the other 47,000? At this stage of the decline of our republic, I think you are definitely more of a kook if you spend more time postulating why there is no conspiracy.
BR, your take on the 47,000 and why they will remain undisclosed?

Obama’s tax collectors got the “low hanging fruit”, but that’s all.

Agree the better question is about the other 47,000?
Top of the scale? Think not.
Phil Gramm on the list? Doubt it. He’s there.
Losers the UBS can afford to sacrifice. Bottom of the scale. Very bottom.
Well that’s the other one:
U Been Sacrificed. Enjoy it.

@Cursive:
Sad to say but I am forced to agree with you, “Undisclosed Billions Still
UBS only agreed to disclose 5000 of 52,000 accounts. Who are the other 47,000? At this stage of the decline of our republic, I think you are definitely more of a kook if you spend more time postulating why there is no conspiracy.

United Banksters of Switzerland
@crazyjerrygarcialover
Are the 52 000 from the US?
Surely, there must be a few accounts from Germany, created around 1939-1944.
[...] night, I asked what the letters “U B S” stood for — using “U Better Sing” and “Unreliable Bankers Swiss” as [...]
U
Broke
Son!
