“Bankers helping customers buy gold bars to store in Swiss bank safes. A wealthy customer who traveled on flights hiding $250,000 in pantyhose to stash in Swiss accounts. U.S. prosecutors say they have evidence like this to support their case that bankers at Credit Suisse Group helped U.S. customers evade taxes on at least $4 billion in hidden assets. People familiar with the talks say Credit Suisse has discussed a settlement of about $800 million. But some U.S. officials are pushing for a tougher line. Eight Credit Suisse bankers have been charged, and all remain at large, believed to be in Switzerland. In all, 14 Swiss banks are under criminal investigation.”
