“Opening yet another front in their war against offshore tax evasion, U.S. enforcers have served a ‘John Doe’ summons on Wells Fargo Bank requiring it to turn over records that could identify any U.S. taxpayers who held accounts from 2004 through 2012 at CIBC FirstCaribbean International Bank Limited (FCIB), which operates in 18 Caribbean countries, including such notorious tax havens as the Cayman Islands. Wells Fargo provides correspondent bank services to FCIB, so Wells would have served as a conduit for transfers to and from FCIB accounts to U.S. accounts, corporations and individuals.”
