UBS USA CHAIRMAN HOEKSTRA OUT MCCANN IN, UBS USA FOR SALE
Associated Press reports: “Swiss investment bank UBS AG said Tuesday it has named former Merrill Lynch & Co. executive Robert McCann as CEO of its U.S. wealth management unit, replacing Marten Hoekstra ... The Internal Revenue Service had originally tried to force Zurich-based UBS to turn over names of some 52,000 American clients believed to be hiding nearly billion in assets. ... he (McCann) was president of global wealth management at Merrill Lynch ... McCann had been picked to lead the banks' (Merrill Lynch) combined brokerage unit, but instead left the same month the deal was completed. ... McCann will oversee UBS's U.S. and Canadian wealth management business as well as any international business that is booked in the U.S.” L1 UBS AG made secret overtures to both Morgan Stanley and Merrill Lynch to sell them UBS USA.Both disclosed to the media the UBS AG attempt whichfurther marginalize UBS USA credibility. McCann was instrumental on putting “lipstick on the pig” before the shotgun marriage of Merrill Lynch to Bank of America. Reliable UBS sources say he is suppose to do the same with UBS USA before sale to another from either Asia or Middle East. His job is to clean up controversial matters at UBS USA crannies allegedly like UBS Utah Industrial Bank and its lawyer Craig Darvin’s office. It is no secret UBS AG wants out of US regulations strangling its profits as well as Swiss credibility with UHNW (ultra high net worth) clients. UBS cannotcompete with the Washington insiders like Goldman Sachs. UBS AG will be a stock to own just before the sale is known, thanks to the astuteness of UBS AG Chairman Kaspar Villiger.
SWISS ATTEMPT OECD CONTROL TO CENSURE UBS AGENDAS
Financial Times reports: “Switzerland has long been a part of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), but it has found membership of the so-called club of rich countries quite uncomfortable of late.After all, legendary bank secrecy has come under heavy attack from other OECD members – notably France and Germany, let alone the G20 clampdown on tax havens.Under intense international pressure, however, the Swiss have now changed their tune and are keen to show“good citizens’ of the global community.… What better way than campaigning for the chairmanship of the OECD’s annual ministerial meeting next spring? The country chairing this meeting determines the agenda and can to some extent influence the outcome. L2 UBS is very controversial and considered an open pandora’s box within European community.European’s are saying: “Why cannot we get tax cheats from UBS like Washington is doing."It just shows UBS considers the European community too weak to demand such things of Switzerland.
LONDON CITY CATCHES UBS IN IMPROPER TRADING
Financial Times reports: “The Financial Services Authority levies the penalty against the Swiss bank for failing to stop employees from making unauthorised trades that cost customers almost £26m.” L3 Is UBS an international criminal network in and of itself?
EX-UBS MAN FINED AND BARRED IN INDIA
Financial Times reports: “An ex-UBS investment adviser has been fined £35,000 and banned from holding sensitive finance industry posts in the first of what is expected to be several individual misconduct cases stemming from the bank’s former India private client desk. … for helping to cover up a scam that cost UBS m (£25m) in compensation after staff used customer money to hide losses from unauthorised trading. … The bank’s India operations have spawned a separate investigation by the Indian government’s Enforcement Directorate, which has been probing whether what it terms “unspecified parties” violated foreign exchange transactions by misusing accounts in London.” L4 We just do not know what is going on at UBS.This is a definite example of UBS policy of blaming incentivisedindividual UBS employees for internal UBS policies. Time and time again incentivised UBS employees get caught.They are thenon their own.Release: Is UBS USA a threat to national security?
These are crossover shifting documents. USFederal Government requires that all shifting of client account assets must be client authorized in writing. UBS has "in accordance with your instructions" on the documents to make it look like they are complying with US Federal Government regulations when in fact they never got written authorization for Exhibits K & N or L in Issue 10. UBS transfersdeliberately and illegally broke the laws of the US by their actions.They have done so while on US probation.Under the Department of Justice agreement UBS must report their criminal malfeasance. To date neither the Utah Court nor UBS has complied.
UTAH INDUSTRIAL BANK SHUT DOWN!
Salt Lake Tribune reports: “Obama is calling for the elimination of industrial bank charters and wants them all shut down within five years. If successful, the president's plan could deal a hammer blow to Utah's economy, which is the home of 25 industrial banks that employ thousands of the state's residents and hold assets valued in excess of 8 billion. … Although Ed Leary, commissioner of the Utah Department of Financial Institutions, pointed out the administration's plan is only preliminary and there is not yet any legislation before Congress. Nevertheless, he said, the proposal was disheartening. ‘It is discouraging they would want to eliminate a charter [for industrial banks] that has never caused problems and didn't contribute to any of the country's financial problems,’ Leary said.”L7It is hard to believe the Obama Administration for political reasons is going to allow UBS Utah Industrial Bank anti-US clients to mill around the NSA complex construction site for 5 years.Why is Washington committing US troops to far off lands when terrorists, spies, criminals et al can obtain fabricated UBS Utah Industrial Bankprocessed documents in the shadow of the planned NSA complex?
Letters to the Editor:
Dear Editor:
I heard also that our Senator Menendez abandoned his Florida citizen constituents in order to collect high fees lobbying for UBS and other banks that he assisted against our interests.I guess you would call this a XXX.
Miami Senior Citizen
Dear Sir:
Your inlandrevenue newsletter was brought to my attention by my barrister when he realised the importance to me.My Grandfather was the last Viceroy to India from the United Kingdom.Upon his passing he left me with a considerable estate.I was young and vulnerable to predators, as your wonderful newsletter refers to them.I happened to be solicited by UBS through my London accountant.I put 200,000 (pounds = 5,000US) into my new UBS London account.Months later I went to find the disposition of my account and found only 20,000 (pounds = ,500US) left.Mind you, this was strictly a bank account.When I beckoned UBS to give me my account documents they would not give them to either my barrister or me.It seems my account, as you delightfully say, was “shifted” and could not be justified. It was terribly difficult for me because I was given no documents from the beginning to show this skullduggery. I often have wondered if UBS made this a habit.I now read about your courageous Florida senior citizen fighting UBS back.It must be difficult in the States to do this since we hear in our media of the rampant corruption we are presently witnessing.I will be delighted to give a statement of my experiences signed by my barrister.
A very noble woman
Please Sir:
This probably will not be published by your one sided newsletter.UBS has been a good citizen in Florida and should not be reprimanded for customary financial service practices.We try.You also do not mention the good works we do for the Florida communities by donating our time and money.Why not read our brochures and report on our good works?
UBS Florida Financial Services Adviser
Dear Readership:
Racketeer Influenced and Corruption Organizations Act (RICO)has been used in the past successfully.A Financial Company and a few of its lawyers were convicted do to our initiation.We allegedly have similar but more blatant issues with UBS USA.UBS USA is already on United States Department of Justice probation but has failed to report their continued violations of Federal law.We have accumulated more than enough documentation to cast the wide RICO net and ensnare UBS lawyers.They have allegedly colluded to violate the FDIC regulations.They have ignored the Federal UBS violations, which should have been reported to the Qualified Intermediary UBS Federal parole authority.What is remarkable is all have willingly documented this collaboration.They have become so brazen that they feel impervious to any and all US Federal Laws. UBS Utah Industrial Bank activity has put the entire Utah Industrial Bank charters under Federal scrutiny.The other RICO prosecutions were comparatively difficult compared to the evidence accumulated in Utah.The Washington political operativesaccepting $ from UBSmay obfuscate an investigation but the media will make things as transparent as possible.We already know most ofthe players. One only has to look upfugitive from US Department of Justice UBS Chairman Raoul Weilupon the internet and see indelibly etchedrevelations are occurring. As recognized journalists, weare corresponding with media and internet defense teams to counter any reprisals for our investigative reporting. UBS Utah Industrial Bank will most probably be used as the poster bank targeted by the Department of Treasury as a broken system.
