TL;DR Summary

Credit Suisse helped ultra-wealthy Americans evade taxes by hiding millions in assets, violating a 2014 plea agreement with U.S. authorities, according to a Senate panel report. The report found that Credit Suisse failed to report the transfer of $100 million in accounts of a U.S. family with dual citizenship to offshore accounts without notifying the Justice Department. Credit Suisse has implemented policies to root out individuals seeking to hide assets from U.S. tax officials and said it does not tolerate tax evasion. The bank is being acquired by UBS under a deal engineered by the Swiss government.
