My theory is it will show he made huge money from legal offshore holdings. Supporting evidence is in the Form 1116 supplement on his 2011 return, which shows foreign taxes paid over the past 10 years. A couple years ago, he was paying $250k+/year in foreign taxes, which would indicate his holdings and profits from foreign holdings were quite high.
Every person using one of those accounts had tax professionals. It's not like they are drug lords doing this.


Actually, I was a journalist who covered the UBS case closely. A lot of the more panicked phone calls I received seeking additional information came from South America.
