    DANG! Look at this - just as I say its all corrupt, another case of the U.S. "getting their man!!"

    "What is clear is that the Justice Department is aggressively pursuing foreign banks who have helped Americans commit overseas tax evasion."

    "The Wegelin case comes four years after a far larger Swiss bank, UBS, agreed to pay a $780m fine to US authorities related to tax evasion charges. UBS also agreed to reveal the details of US account holders.

    However, UBS neither pleaded nor was found guilty. Instead it and US prosecutors came to what is called a deferred prosecution agreement, with the fine being paid in exchange for the charges being dropped."




    These guys made their millions. Paid off the U.S. government and will laugh all the way to another bank!

    You guys do know that in looking at professions which the highest rate of psychopaths....CEO's are #1 right?

    Professions with the most Psychopaths and how it effects our world, page 1


    First off, psychopath doesn’t just mean someone who cuts you up with a chainsaw — though the majority of people who do things like that are psychopaths. What’s the definition?

    Psychopathy is a personality disorder that has been variously described as characterized by shallow emotions (in particular reduced fear), stress tolerance, lacking empathy, coldheartedness, lacking guilt, egocentricity, superficial character, manipulativeness, irresponsibility, impulsivity and antisocial behaviors such as parasitic lifestyle and criminality.

    So which professions (other than axe murderer) do they disproportionately gravitate towards — or away from?



    Most Psychopathy +

    1. CEO
    2. Lawyer
    3. Media (TV/Radio)
    4. Salesperson
    5. Surgeon
    6. Journalist
    7. Police Officer
    8. Clergy person
    9. Chef
    10 Civil Servant

    Least Psychopathy -
    1. Care Aid
    2. Nurse
    3. Therapist
    4. Craftsperson
    5. Beautician/Stylist
    6. Charity Worker
    7. Teacher
    8. Creative Artist
    9. Doctor
    10. Accountant.
    Being a psycho means you don't give a damn......about other people at least.

    Based on the title I was almost sure this thread would be about Jillian Michaels being a lesbian. I'll be going now.
