In cooperation with the U.S., Credit Suisse and Liechtensteinische Landesbank began the process of turning over client data, which encouraged U.S. taxpayers to come forward through the IRS's 2012 Amnesty Initiative in order to avoid criminal investigation .
U.S. authorities have not lost sight of the bigger picture; other banks believed to be under investigation include: HSBC Holdings Plc, Basler Kantonalbank, Wegelin & Co., Zuercher Kantonalbank, Julius Baer Group Ltd., Bank Leumi Israel BM, Bank Hapoalim BM, Mizrahi-Tefahot Bank Ltd., and NZB AG.
