But you see what it looks like. It is pretty obvious that if these things are happening there is a prima faciecase for tax evasion. I am not saying it is in every case but it looks very like it. When one sees people prosecuted for very small amounts of tax evasion in this country compared with these people and other people here getting settlements which appear to be reasonably generous without prosecution, it does look utterly wrong. Did the witness ever conduct an examination of the source of the funds that went out into the Ansbacher accounts? Where was the money from? I am not asking about the individuals. Was this hot money?
