Swiss banks are continuing to send letters to U.S. Taxpayers with undisclosed Swiss accounts encouraging them to come forward and declare their undisclosed offshore accounts or be closed out.

Kevin E. Thorn, Managing Partner of the Thorn Law Group discusses the recent negotiations between the U.S. Department of Justice and Swiss bank Credit Suisse and the effect that any potential settlement may have on the rest of the banking community and the U.S. Taxpayers who still may have undisclosed offshore accounts at foreign banks.

If Credit Suisse reaches a deal with the Justice Department, the disclosure of U.S. Taxpayers undisclosed offshore account information would be part of the negotiations. This would also put into place the DOJ procedures of the investigations of banks in the future.
