I hope UBS as a company and the directors, as individuals, are hit HARD by this lawsuit. It is a shame that they feel they need to bow to pressures of the USA which thinks it runs the world instead of adherence to the law in their own country. Switzerland should stand firm against the hegemonic influence of the USA, but also UK and EU, who want to eliminate privacy in all facets (banking, telephonic, internet, etc.) The USA, and its minions like UK and EU, seem to want a police state everywhere. Of course, it is ok for US banks to break the law or regulations--- they'll just get bailed out but when another countries' bank follows the rules in their own country they will reap the whirlwind of the US wrath.
