Read it:

Liechtenstein has about forty thousand people, the Swiss franc, a prince whose family owns its largest private bank, and by 2000 some eighty-four thousand registered companies and foundations. This is the story of the money that taxpayers, dictators and oligarchs from other countries placed in Vaduz, of the trustees who signed for it, and of the insiders and foreign governments who broke the secret: a state-majority bank that paid an extortionist to keep client files from the German tax office, an archivist who sold the prince's bank's data, a former Constitutional Court president convicted of defrauding his clients. Covers Heinrich Kieber and LGT, the Liechtensteinische Landesbank, Herbert Batliner, Harry Gstöhl, Mario Staggl and New Haven Trust, the Abacha companies, and the trust firms the U.S. Treasury sanctioned.
