OTS - FinanzBuch Verlag: UBS Whistleblower Story Goes Global
2017. April 28. 10:18
München, 28 April, 2017 (APA/OTS) - After a successful release in
the United States, UBS Whistleblower Bradley Birkenfeld's memoirs
"LUCIFER'S BANKER" (www.lucifersbanker.com) is being highly sought
after by book publishers around the world. Germany's FinanzBuch
Verlag will release the German version "DES TEUFEL'S BANKER" on
April 10, 2017 in Germany, Austria, Liechtenstein and Switzerland.
"We are very proud to be the first to launch the German version of
Lucifer's Banker in Europe" - stated Christian Jund (Chairman of
FBV). Several international publishing deals are either signed or
in development, including: France, Greece, Italy, Japan, Poland,
Romania, Russia, Spain and Thailand.
Mr. Birkenfeld has teamed up with proven industry media veteran
Martin Schuermann along with the premier talent agency Creative
Artists Agency (CAA) to develop both scripted and unscripted TV
shows around Bradley's epic story.
Bradley Birkenfeld was a Director at UBS private banking in
Geneva, Switzerland managing high-net-worth US clients, keeping
their assets in the then notorious secret Swiss numbered accounts.
In 2007, after several unsuccessful attempts within UBS to change
their practices of blatant billion-dollar tax evasion, Mr.
Birkenfeld blew the whistle to several US agencies including: the
IRS, DOJ, SEC and the US Senate only to be received with mixed
reactions. After a long legal struggle, Mr. Birkenfeld was the
only UBS banker sent to jail (for 30 months) by the DOJ. Weeks
after his release, Mr. Birkenfeld was recognized by the IRS with a
$104 million award - the largest in history.
LUCIFER'S BANKER gives an unprecedented look into the secret
Swiss private banking practices and the global network of politics,
corruption and money through the eyes of a courageous whistleblower
who took on the largest bank and the largest government in the
world and ultimately won.
