These internal documents were proof that the bank was involved in fraud and International Tax evasion. When initially approach rudolph didnt take the polygraph exam for health reasons, but he took it later and he failed. The bank had a policy at the time that any employee who failed the test would be fired and his employment was terminated. But he still had custody of the documents on the thumb drive in 2005 rou. Ive sold a switch business newspaper, a cd with 160 megabytes of data on it, but was almost immediately arrested in zurich on suspicion of violating bank secrecy laws. He sat in custody for 30 days and started a website for whistle blowers as soon as he was released in 2008.

But the price of fusion was not able to prove that rudolph had actually violated any laws in the end. Even this with in german media agreed that this was a complex case. And rudolf elmer is a complex person. One is paper said, quote Rudolph Elmer is the model case of a whistle blower. Hes no angel, but almost all whistle blowers are complex cases and quote, were glad to have rudolph elm or joining us today. Rudolf, welcome to the show. Thank you. Tell him for inviting me and given me the opportunity to talk about switzerland and its jody called says, and the banking dog. Were happy to have you. And im interested to know how this whole thing got started. You had a job that would be the envy of most people. You represented a major bank in the paradise that is the Cayman Islands. But you saw something that shook you into action. Tell us about that. And i chose is concerned about the kind of a striking all trade. So i was chief operating officer accountant, compliance officer, i guarantee and secure display to an investment manager or hedge funds, private equity funds, and top of it on expertise. Uh, you know, i t and became an island. Now i had several shops to the louis. So its not just on the bottom. The 1st one is the charge that dive us by you, based on the criminal light deck. Thats what the right off the bank asked the request. Thats all stuff past due before the party got the test and make this a completion at they before 1040 golf test to continue to act for the bank. What right do they have to put up human beings to machine and use the machine to destroy somebody . Professional lice. If the bank police prosecute even the guy or the c i o even worse, a serious trimming of the next joke off. Find out about the reviewing the backup types of the bank. I learned that the Trust Company department that the company does, department serves a Mexican Police officer and drop the lines that are being lobby, construction, eats, and many other treatment notes. There was plenty of for all of them, even suspect the federal financing. But the boss, no doubt the bank advised the clients how to commit crimes and walk using its judy as back groups secuity portfolio. Housing became ins to have a tax it on top of a k y c boss. Clearly no issue or st for also were written by the president of the to this bad group. I know to tighten yes clay. That is all. It was called k y c. In those states. The fact shock i had to come out to relate it to 911. 00, which happened falls months before the lie detector test. And i often traveled with us to conferences off for new york southeast until all in the bank i q. Its me in the california courts of making tribes in the sense of 911 men to quote those the 3 key legs and the 1st amendment of the United States free speech and pre pressed the purpose was to destroy my card, the ability or even estimate the best health of the United States. I felt so no rather, and later i end up in contacting them of a fortunately, us senator call laving. And the chief, the investigate of the us senate was texted to me and understood both whats really going off for struck in 2000. I couldnt even prove an attend Health Narrative me in the Cayman Islands. Luckily, i survived. I had threats from the bank sought to buy the go for a deep dive, its by the, for your family, corporate, et cetera. So these are the things which shouts to me. Really. I have to admit that i was surprised by the quickness with which the bank realized that somebody had access documents. How did that happen, and how was the bank able to identify you so quickly . I. When i returned to switzerland, i informed now easily the space tax authorities and prosecution, and late there is with media about what is going on in the Cayman Islands. They spelt a terrible mistake i made because i believe they what protect me. And most importantly, my family there is today, no doubt that the authorities informed the bank and this lease use paper was sent that they thought, you know, order to have it published. The publishing never happened in switzerland by the way. So the new state of faith that provides its the state, the officially to the bank and report it about my purse. I am a mentally sick person, a criminal. Im out on the for revenge that, that there was nothing about the cream and those clients and the dubious business they to us clearly explain all the data. In other words, i have the adopt a hornets nest of citrix tax authorities. Parties prosecute this got just and so hes trying to listen to all protected the goals and the cause of sweets, bank secrecy, i expose the truth, the true face of switzerland. I think a friendly judge wrote to me about in prison. And he wrote, you are big expressed to the system, then the red army, the ira, etc, to the world. Because you use information at know why then that is lots to bang all foot need a lot of money. The bank of the a lot of money on and off me to close all criminal cases against me. If i keep side correct, the bank had the power to close all the legal cases. Guns lots. Does he tell you . And i have another person who accepts cash money. I rather pay to go to pricing. You appear to have made a decision very early on that you were going to tell the truth about what was happening at julia spare consequences, be damned. And certainly things devolved quickly for you. Tell us about your personal situation at the time. Were you married . Did you have children . Did you have to go through this experience alone . How did you handle the pressure of the bank, essentially falling on your head . And this was authorities seeking to have you locked up in a jail now about making a decision or making my decision. I could not even make some decisions. I was forced to go public. I needed the protection of the public because the bank and the authorities used streaming so method to hire us to solve and direct me and my family. My family received that price. Even my 6 year old daughter, the bank exposed expense, approximately which i learned from the lawyer off the truly as bang, about 1500000. 00 us dollars. Using private detectives to perform psychological peril for several months. For instance, my daughter did not want to go to the school any more because in her birth liked men approach tara and to offer chocolate. They have all the car chase my vice and find out whats followed on the highway in c, r a private detective strove at 10 pm in our that and throat and make noise. I would need is very uh, freight, but the police and prosecution look the all the way they stated to the neighbors safely. Us. Uh, a person yourself sir, and everything is fine to go through the experience alone. I was entirely on my own if my ex and if you have 2 exceptions. And these are the real heroes of the story. Its my wife and my daughter who kept me for not going mad. Because i bought the all the right, the suffering from a severe post Traumatic Stress is or to confound by leading medical experts. On the other hand, the big thing support of switzerland or Human Rights Watch or the and you, well known politicians playing thing style a loss and still it is at all. And its ness. If you blow the whistle in switzerland to date, i handled the pressure of the way i handled the pressure up. If there are several factors. Im a real religious person. I had a brilliant psychologist who coached me an exceptional t. Peyton lloyd lady lawyer who fight it in the courtroom like a lion for its off springs and great support when i was 3 months in a christian mental thought. There i learned to think like the term and year of the, the bottom high for all will 5 the denazis to think like gone the and Martin Luther king. And all this open to my eyes. Message use against me were the same as the not to many against to is people except they could not kill me. I lost all their id a valid on public because it became Crystal Clear thats and i and my family. The talk at the ad space showed the co author at this and the government that going outside the law, abusing that petition nor to talk is innocent people. I understood the mode of support on the used what they kates in switzerland fight proof that of and in the recent case it like bradley b. I confess you be asked how different johnny relate to hsbc geneva travel kitchen. He asked me, montague, jeremy, i missed a and many others. The all po 3 is loss that i was trying to teach and put back to society about things which should never become public. And the democratic state. Democrats, democratic states, known as a role models with democratic my you, its not a role model because its run by any of the, the banks this, this is just, this fact hurts me to my heart as a form, a taxi of the space all me about it is the truth. Thank you. Rudolph elmer, stay right there. Were speaking with Swiss Banking with a blower, Rudolph Elmer about his revelations of swift bank. Julius bears involvement, and fraud and tax evasion.

This is the 3rd world lunacy re washing as close to the funder line. Likes to say we have the tools while we just start with stability and business deal, some of the living will not have very good propaganda. You know, price here in your i think we dont know the aftermath any time that youre not allowed to ask questions. You should ask all of the questions, the more questions ask the better. The answer is will be the welcome back to the rest of wheres im john kerry onto were speaking with rudolf elmer. Hes a whistle blower who revealed to the world Swiss Banking giant. Julius bear was involved in fraud and tax evasion through its offices in the Cayman Islands. Good to have you with this rudolph. God, thank you for being here again and speaking about the the financial industry of switzerland or in switzerland in general. Read off. Tell us a little about the nature of your whistle blowing. You did it over the course of several rounds, so to speak. What was the initial information and what did you do with it . Uh, the initial information. Uh, a loss about the way to a spare handle of the trust as a business in the trust the parkman, the indicating an island. And thats the, the, the they, when i learned how things work and i stopped the defeat the details in the, in the trust department on back up. They bought uh the backup taped off to the i left lock in the sense that, uh, i had the secretary at home because the bank requested me to uh, take everything back up paypal or to, to, uh, uh, to use it in case if that is a fire in the bank. So i started the that date the fuck initially, i also can say that i challenged management quite often in the, in the bank. And even in c, r a gun, the i really felt theres something going on which i called success. But they didnt really take notice then i requested a little ation of my professional performance on that, which was pretty and actually except on science. And they said the, im a critical thing to the person. So thats basically of us to start. Hes fine. Concurrently with your 1st trial, you sent Additional Information to wiki leeks. Or did you one version that i saw was that you turned over to wiki leaves a disk that was blank . Can you walk us through that . Was there a 2nd revelation . So we can weeks and if so, what does that include now . So youre talking about the handing over of the 2 tvs in the prompt line cloth of london, then julias showed you what to do. Yeah, i saw was there. So those 2 cds had no data on it. That was on the a film about the waste, the blowers. Im not that stupid to handle what they to publicly and rolled pricey staff because i had to assume that the english for the east was and to the to show when say look, people to see the uh so the idea of the attending over will off to make public aware of the legal trial in switzerland 2 days later. That was one purpose of the 2nd purpose laws and the date of author. They are definitely of also the only fatal studious barrett loss. Also they go for the banks and so on. Ah, my Legal Support of the us stop the handing over the of the dial, the wheels cds in order to make sure because they knew that uh whats going on in switzerland that i went already to prison and they didnt go onto to get them more a be done to go often. So the actually about to protect the measured by on the one end. On the other hand, it was a we in the a marketing event to show a to make, to put the spotlight on the trial in switzerland because he felt about despite seekers and the world press actually turned off in theory. Explained to us what happened in court in your 2nd trial. The prosecution essentially just fell apart. What happened there . What really happened is is the fact that my Employment Contract, which was confiscated by the persecution office and kept it in uh for 7 or 8 years because this contract really shows that ive off employed in the Cayman Islands. And that you, that its not possible to apply space bank secrecy in the Cayman Islands to an employee who is employed in became in that, uh, employment uh, contract actually uh, by accidental turned it over to me by the police officer. If i had to go with some data and find us which they had confiscated and we actually, my lawyer told them that Employment Contract uh to legal uh, experts the of the in switzerland bundle then off even a federal job in employment law. And they wrote the 2nd opinion uh, which actually mark pete provide some of pete who is known in switzerland as one of the most well known as experts in money to aubrey rose that the you called supply at the, the, the suspect secrecy. And the caymans, thats not possible. So uh, even so. Uh they uh they uh, and finds me guilty again, again, uh, in 2014, but in 2016 uh at the higher court of sierra which is the 2nd level. They, they had to this come uh, to uh, change the word, the domain and they really on. So whats going on and therefore the doctors of the lawyer called today actually for the they say part of the dirty game. Thank you Rudolph Elmer for joining us and for sharing your harrowing story of whistle blowing. Well leave it there and thank you to our viewers for joining us. Whistle blowing is tough, its very tough. In many cases, it takes over our lives and changes their very course, but is the great industrialist. Henry ford says, quote, ops tools are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goals . And thats why in the end whistle blowers are so often successful, even when the cost is very high, the goal is bigger than we are. The goal is the public good. Thats why we do it. Thanks for joining us for another episode of the width of lowers. Im john kerry on who will see you next time. 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 on the take a fresh look around his life kaleidoscopic isnt just a shifted reality distortion by power to division with no real opinions. Fixtures designed to simplify will confuse really once a better wills, and is it just as a chosen few fractured images presented to this, but can you see through their illusion going underground, can we are in control of land of fire breathing volcanoes. Volcanoes vividly captured the imagination and they define our lives much more than you would expect. So what are they capable of and what makes contract as volcanoes stand up, the screen of them boss can do. I just need to get them with key at the washington state. The bruce to complete the rest of the guys just to phone up, send that to professional men city and to keep the list of all but huge, but they use the the fiber buddy. Im rick sanchez.

Work that the, some of the Largest Television networks in the world that i believe after all about that new should be honest and direct and impactful. And thats why we call this direct impact the so theres this trend taking place in america. Maybe its really more like a reverse trend, affirmative action. So you front of action is supposed to give an advantage to those who may be less fortunate. But over the years, many argue that it actually end up
