Regret closing that numbered account now don't you?

I remember drawing the ire of Emmanuel Bucaille (P&S head in Asia) when this this whole US tax situation starting brewing with their people in Miami being detained and no-fly rules being introduced. I joked that this was going to get ugly......and ugly it has become]
