A cryptic anecdote from Switzerland.

New Post (120) : A cryptic anecdote from Switzerland.

Here’s a cryptic anecdote for you to enjoy.

“C” approaches “S” with a bag load of money and asks him to “take care” of it for him.

“S” gives him a receipt with a number scribbled on it.

“C” goes away relieved and cheerful.

“S” invests the money and makes himself rich.

“C” meanwhile comes under the scanner and is investigated for the sources of his wealth.

“S” is contacted to enquire about any bag loads of money he may have received from “C”

“S” feigns ignorance.

“S” meanwhile continues getting richer.

“C” walks away unscathed from the investigation, as the investigation is dropped.

“C” and “S” --- --- --- gloat over their little game.

*** The lesser said about “C”riminals and about “S”wiss bankers………the better. Indeed.

What ? Are you missing the joke here ?
The joke my friend --- is on all of the rest of us.

Banking secrecy law is akin to a cloak of silk …on a pile of stinking garbage.
Can’t hide the stink.
