Hi, I'm from Switzerland ;)<br><br>In my opinion, there is an economic war going on in the background of this affair and the countries who support such whistle-blowers do not have clean intentions. The secret concerning the clients in Switzerland comes from WW2, to protect Jews and other political dissidents from death penalty they would risk if they put money outside Germany or France. Nowadays, okay, the war is over, the fascists are down. But anyway, I do prefer to support whistle-blowers who relay information about what governments do wrong than the ones who hand over private data of citizen to governments.<br>
<br>Furthermore, the very rich people don't choose Switzerland to hide most of their money, they do prefer to use the anglo-saxon 'trusts' where the identity of the people owning the money is really well hidden.<br>
<br>So, I'm really not sure we should support this guy, it seems he worked as a spy in Lebanon and that he is already protected by the french police..<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Aug 11, 2012 at 7:09 PM, Daniel <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:danielrr2@gmail.com" target="_blank">danielrr2@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I, too, liked Mother Theresa of Calcuta very much, but I don't think we must expect her kind of behaviour from all the people who deserve our support.<br>
