It’s disappearance week. Breaking news: the US has declared AWOL ex-UBS exec Raoul Weil a fugitive. Weil was indicted in U.S. v. Weil, 08-60322, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida for tax evasion and conspiracy to defraud that allegedly lined UBS’ pockets quite nicely.Weil allegedly referred to his offshore banking business as “toxic waste,” which makes sense only in rough comparison to how mafiosos will allegedly tell you they are in “sanitation.”
UBS, a firm believer in the stop-snitching manifesto, issued a solid “no comment” on the matter.
He’s a Swiss citizen, so, uh, good luck getting him extradited to the States even if you do find him. And if you do find him, please make him pay his fines in chocolate. Source, CNBC breaking.

i bet you a bottle of cheap scotch she’s his secretary/parking spot guard, and he keeps telling her the 3 months of back pay is something she should take up with personnel.
