    So sketchy and quite sickening too. It will be interesting to see just who is on this list of 1,700.

    And just about any person who has had a minister portfolio in the last 20 years.



    Safe to say that list will never be published.

    French officials ultimately gave their citizens an opportunity to pay up without facing penalty. Half a billion euros were returned.


    8O

    That was based on 8000 or so French accounts, scary to think of how much those 1785 Canadian accounts might bring in...

    If the Swiss ever get hold of him he can buddy up with the two IRS agents who've been doing time over there since 1988.

    Not paying taxes on it is.
