“To whom was it addressed? What did it say?
It said plenty. We will drop the bomb on Monday, when the letter arrives…”
… Keltruth Blog sends letter to Swiss Bank
Fiesty Keltruth Blog Sends Letter To Money-Laundering Swiss Bank!
Swiss banking giant UBS got nailed by U.S. tax authorities last year when bank employees were arrested in the USA while smuggling assets and records across the border. As we related in our article a few weeks ago, U.S. prosecutors have alleged UBS helped clients hide $18 billion of untaxed American money in undeclared accounts. This amounts to around $300 million of annual unpaid taxes.
Keltruth Blog has written a letter to UBS that they say is a “bomb” and that “If you are involved in Barbadian politics, this letter is a must-read!”
We at BFP can’t hardly wait for Monday.
This is not the first time that Keltruth Blog has tried to raise international attention. Last September they sent a letter criticising Prime Minister Thompson to every delegate at the United Nations just a few days before the Barbadian leader addressed the General Assembly!

Whatever it is, this should be fun.
The former Prime Minister put $300,000US in cash in safety deposit boxes in a New York bank. He did not put any money in a Swiss Bank.
Don’t get too excited my fellow Bajans. the previous comment relates to this.
“Former prime minister Brian Mulroney recognizes that he made a “colossal mistake” in taking 300,000 dollars in cash from an arms dealer now facing charges in Germany, his spokesman told a local newspaper Wednesday.”
the facts.only the facts.
yes Hants even in Canada they use consultants to induce contracts with a lot of juice.
The $300,000 was only the tip of the iceberg

The Canadians, however are pikers compared to Barbados where offshore non-tendered contracts balloon to hundreds of millions of dollars from where they started.
Where are the promised forensic audits on Veco, Dodds, 3S etc and where is our promised ITAL and FOI?
Will we get up to the date transparent, blow by blow information on how Barbadians will be assisting Clico?
Not in this lifetime.
Canada, at least still has the semblence of a real
and free press.
Sunshine is the best disinfectant. – Justice Louis D. Brandeis
Someone on this blog recently published what is needed to overcome the serious readjustment facing the whole world.
In addition to a strong work ethic, love thy neighbour, and hold your family and friends close, we have to look at the long term and not for short term gains that sacrifice the quality of life and opportunity for future generations.
The government needs to step forward and keep its promises to safeguard that which is precious.

I thought that was what the right-wing, pro-business, Reaganites and Republicans (and some Democrats too) wanted – less regulation and oversight by initiative-stifling, interfering government regulators and busybodies as the capitalist money makers and the “free marketeers” would do all the regulating necessary on their own.
Um, BFP: Keltruth has opened up a new site called Money Laundering Advisory which names a lot of names. Will there be an update to this thread? http://barbadosmoneylaunderingadvisory.wordpress.com/
