Swiss banker spills the beans to Wikileaks



Meanwhile, the FT reports that the whistleblower was found guilty of divulging banking secrets!

A Zurich court ruled on Wednesday that Rudolf Elmer, the Swiss self styled private banking “whistleblower”, was guilty of coercion and breaching bank secrecy, fining him SFr7,200 ($7,517).

Mr Elmer, a former employee of Bank Julius Baer, one of Switzerland’s leading private banks, this week made headlines after giving WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange two CDs of what he claimed were details of secret bank accounts held by unspecified politicians and other international figures.
Is it any wonder that the banksters always win, when it is illegal to whistle-blow?
