New York, NY, USA (GenevaLunch) - Bradley Birkenfeld, the former UBS bank wealth manager who shared 19,000 bank client names with the IRS, US tax authority, appeared on CBS television Sunday night, lamenting his prison term. Birkenfeld is scheduled to go to prison 8 January to begin serving a 40-month prison sentence for his part in defrauding the IRS. He could exit prison a wealthy man thanks to rewards from the IRS Whistleblower programme. He told the television interviewer that he believes it is unfair he should be the only banker to go to prison in connection with the case.
