samy5000 Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 I received the following information via e mail from a friend recently : Revelation of Swiss bank accounts Recently, due to international pressure, the Swiss government agreed to disclose the names of the account holders only if the respective governments formally asked for it. Indian government is not asking for the details.......no marks for guessing why? DISHONEST INDUSTRIALISTS, scandalous politicians and corrupt IAS, IRS, IPS officers have deposited in foreign banks in their illegal personal accounts a sum of about $1500 billion, which have been misappropriated by them. This amount is about 13 times larger than the country's foreign debt. With this amount 45 crore poor people can get Rs 1,00,000 each. This huge amount has been appropriated from the people of India by exploiting and betraying them. Once this huge amount of black money and property comes back to India , the entire foreign debt can be repaid in 24 hours. After paying the entire foreign debt, we will have surplus amount, almost 12 times larger than the foreign debt. If this surplus amount is invested in earning interest, the amount of interest will be more than the annual budget of the Central government. So even if all the taxes are abolished, then also the Central government will be able to maintain the country very comfortably. Some 80,000 people travel to Switzerland every year, of whom 25,000 travel very frequently. 'Obviously, these people won't be tourists. They must be traveling there for some other reason,' believes an official involved in tracking illegal money. And, clearly, he isn't referring to the commerce ministry bureaucrats who've been flitting in and out of Geneva ever since the World Trade Organization (WTO) negotiations went into a tailspin! Just read the following details and note how these dishonest industrialists, scandalous politicians, corrupt officers, cricketers, film actors, illegal sex trade and protected wildlife operators, to name just a few, sucked this country's wealth and prosperity. This may be the picture of deposits in Swiss banks only. What about other international banks? Black money in Swiss banks -- Swiss Banking Association report, 2006 details bank deposits in the territory of Switzerland by nationals of following countries: TOP FIVE INDIA.................................... $1,456 BILLION RUSSIA................................... $470 BILLION U.K...................................... ....$390 BILLION UKRAINE.................................. $100 BILLION CHINA.................................... ....$96 BILLION Now do the math's - India with $1,456 billion or $1.4 trillion has more money in Swiss banks than rest of the world combined. Public loot since 1947: Can we bring back our money? It is one of the biggest loots witnessed by mankind -- the loot of the Aam Aadmi (common man) since 1947, by his brethren occupying public office. It has been orchestrated by politicians, bureaucrats and some businessmen. In fact, some finance experts and economists believe tax havens to be a conspiracy of the western world against the poor countries. By allowing the proliferation of tax havens in the twentieth century, finally , 2 questions : 1) Can this be true ? 2) If yes, what we as ordinary citizens can do to book the culprits?

Stramash Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Never trust eMails without any list of references... and no.. it's NOT true. Never trust denials with no references either... though there are irregularities in the post (I mean 80,000 visitors a year?) I have seen these figures on several websites, and it does seem from the wide range of articles on the subject that India is indeed the worst 'black money' culprit, at least within the Swiss banking system.

eagle Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 I think a realistic way to determine how much money has been ripped off from any country is called the "deficit". And that might end up being a modest sum compared to the real amount. So the world is a mess because of so many crooks and if you try to do things for all people you get called a socialist like its a bad thing. Twisted mess mans morals are :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJTX Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Is this really shocking / new news? :roll: Hasn't everyone known for a long time that the rich hide a lot of their money in Swiss accounts? Only other place I know of that is possibly worse is Lichtenstein. There, I understand, you have to have a minimum deposit of 750,000 US. :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
