HMRC last week confirmed it received information from a whistleblower which contains the names of every HSBC customer with an account in Jersey.

They show a partial listing of 2,059 bank accounts allegedly secretly held by Greeks in a Swiss branch of HSBC. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/28/world/europe/list-of-swiss-accounts-turns-up-the-heat-in-greece.html Hours after the magazine hit newsstands, Athens prosecutors issued a warrant for the arrest of Kostas Vaxevanis, the owner and editor of Hot Doc, “where names from the Lagarde list have been published,” the Athens police said in a statement on their Web site. They said he was sought on misdemeanor charges; the Greek media reported that the charges were related to violating the privacy of those on the list. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-20116548 Mr. Vaxevanis says the list he published is the same one that was given by the then French finance minister Christine Lagarde to her Greek counterpart. Some of those named, said to include many prominent Greeks, are suspected of using the accounts for tax evasion. • Greece Bankrupted by EU Central Banking Cartel > http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/10/09/us-greece-merkel-idUSBRE8980BV20121009 http://labornotes.org/2012/09/general-strike-greece-says-we-wont-submit http://www.wsws.org/articles/2012/sep2012/euro-s29.shtml http://news.goldseek.com/GoldSeek/1346691900.php http://www.taiwannews.com.tw/etn/news_content.php?id=2014885 http://www.cnbc.com/id/48883704 http://www.testosteronepit.com/home/2012/9/12/power-grab-the-noose-tightens-on-national-sovereignty-in-eur.html http://wsws.org/articles/2012/jul2012/gree-j27.shtml http://www.spiegel.de/international/europe/economic-crisis-triggers-wave-of-suicides-in-greece-a-850129.html http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/financialcrisis/9291516/Christine-Lagarde-Greeks-can-help-themselves-out-of-the-crisis-by-paying-their-tax.html http://wsws.org/articles/2012/jun2012/gree-j21.shtml http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/e79024a2-ba28-11e1-84dc-00144feabdc0.html http://www.infowars.com/%e2%80%9cmerkozy%e2%80%9d-letter-to-eu-now-is-the-time-to-strip-countries-of-sovereignty/ http://www.csmonitor.com/World/Backchannels/2011/1208/Merkel-Sarkozy-to-Europe-shelve-your-sovereignty-save-the-euro http://www.prisonplanet.com/desperation-greece-to-allow-sale-of-expired-foods-to-citizens.html • Mass HSBC Money Laundering > http://www.infowars.com/infowars-nightly-news-banksters-accused-of-money-laundering-through-fraudulent-accounts/ http://www.wnd.com/2012/02/banking-giant-accused-of-laundering-billions/ http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/09/los-zetas-laundered-money-bank-america_n_1658943.html http://www.wnd.com/2012/02/next-shoe-drops-in-bank-scandal-on-wnd/ http://aftermathnews.wordpress.com/2012/07/19/britains-biggest-bank-sorry-about-helping-all-those-drug-and-terror-gangs/ http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/07/20/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-senates-hsbc-money-laundering-report/ http://www.aljazeera.com/news/americas/2012/07/2012716213139157207.html {[~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~]} {[~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~]}
