UBS Yacht Broker Client Pleads Guilty -

One of UBS's american clients, a Florida yacht broker, pleaded guilty to filing a false tax return today. According to government sources, the false tax return was filed on October 18, 2008, and failed to report his interest in a UBS account in Switzerland. He also failed to report the income he earned on his UBS bank accounts. The account was owned through a panamanian corporation. 
 
That means it took the government less than six-months to investigate and prosecute the case -

It also appears that this case may be related to the criminal complaint filed a couple of weeks ago against the Florida accounant (see prior posts) many of whose clients were in the yacht brokerage business.
