Abstract: 
On August 16, 2013, Edgar Paltzer, a former partner at a Swiss law firm, pled guilty in U.S. District Court in Manhattan to conspiring with U.S. taxpayer-clients and others to help U.S. taxpayers hide millions of dollars in offshore accounts from the IRS and to evade U.S. taxes on the income earned in those accounts. [1]
