Peter Amrein worked as a client advisor at a Swiss bank and, later, as an asset manager at a Swiss asset management firm. In those roles, between 1998 and 2012, Peter Amrein helped U.S. taxpayers evade taxes and hide millions of dollars in undeclared accounts at various Swiss banks, including Wegelin & Co., which was charged and pleaded guilty in the Southern District of New York for its conduct in conspiring with U.S. taxpayers to evade taxes. Peter Amrein, among other things, worked with an attorney based in Zurich, Switzerland, to establish sham foundations, which were organized under the laws of non-U.S. countries such as Liechtenstein, so that the undeclared assets of certain of Peter Amrein’s U.S. taxpayer-clients could be maintained in the names of these foreign foundations rather than in the clients’ own names. read the entire case at International Financial Law Prof Blog
