UBS whistleblower nets $104 million reward
By James O'Toole @CNNMoneySeptember 11, 2012: 3:22 PM ET
UBS is also cooperating with investigators probing the Libor interest rate-
fixing scandal.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- A former UBS banker who provided information on the
firm's vast business of helping wealthy Americans hide their assets from the
Internal Revenue Service has received a $104 million whistleblower reward,
which his lawyers said was the largest in U.S. history.
Bradley Birkenfeld's tips helped pave the way for a 2009 settlement between
the U.S. government and UBS (UBS) under which the bank agreed to pay $780
million in penalties and turn over the account information of thousands of U
.S. clients.
Over 35,000 Americans have since participated in amnesty programs to
repatriate their offshore accounts, netting the government over $5 billion
in back taxes, fines and penalties, Birkenfeld's lawyers said in a statement
Tuesday.
The IRS confirmed Birkenfeld's reward but declined to comment in detail
about the case.
"The IRS believes that the whistleblower statute provides a valuable tool to
combat tax non-compliance, and this award reflects our commitment to the
law," the agency said in a statement.
The IRS Whistleblower Office was established in 2007, though Birkenfeld's
lawyers said his was the first such reward it had granted. By law,
whistleblowers can collect up to 30% of what the IRS recovers as a result of
their tips.
Birkenfeld himself received a 40-month prison term in 2009 for his part in
UBS's tax evasion program after providing information on it, a conviction
his lawyers branded unjust. He has since been released to home confinement
and is seeking a presidential pardon, the attorneys added.
Birkenfeld's brother Douglas read a statement on his behalf at a press
conference in Washington Tuesday, calling the reward "truly gratifying."
"This is the day I thought would never come," Birkenfeld's statement read. "
I single-handedly transformed centuries of illicit Swiss private banking
practices, but I paid a huge price for being the only person to have the
courage to come forward." | k*******d
