Swiss banks

When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991 a few insiders took advantage of their connections with government officials and along with some officials became very wealthy. They used their inside information to buy certain assets that greatly increased in value. Seven of these were well known and called the seven banker outfit. These people today are called oligarchs. Many of these oligarchs live with their families in London and commute to Russia. One of these is Mikhail Fridman, Russia second richest man and is currently restoring Athlone House in Londan as his primary residence to be worth 130 million pounds. These rich men are too smart to keep their money in Russia and like to have dollars. Putin is worth billions but no one is sure where he keeps his money but Swiss Banks are the probable spot. If the whereabouts could be discovered this would be a good way to leverage his activities. Switzerland which is situated in the center of Europe is not a member of NATO because they have survived by being neutral.
