Bradley Birkenfeld blew the whistle on UBS, Switzerland's largest bank. His disclosure and cooperation with U.S. authorities provided inside
information into the bank's conduct and began the dismantling of the
historic secrecy of Swiss banks. Mr.
Birkenfeld's disclosure directly led to a ground-breaking legal
settlement in which UBS agreed to pay $780 million in fines, and UBS and
the Swiss Government have turned over the names of thousands of
Americans suspected of illegal offshore banking.
