    Explanation: Switzerland was neutral during WW2. That, however, did not stop them from laundering (and then retaining) vast amounts of Nazi gold.

    It is estimated that nearly 91 tonnes (100 short tons) of Nazi gold were laundered through Swiss banks, with only 3.6 tonnes (4 short tons) being returned at the end of the war.[25]

    Neutral = they can profit off everyone. Just ask their bankers which terrorists, cartels and white collar criminals they know

    Swiss bank money repaid to Holocaust victims

    How the Holocaust-Swiss banks deal was brokered

    Look, we have corrupt people too. And our system certainly has room for improvements. But it isn’t built on corruption.

    It was seized by law enforcement and used to militarize the police, just like the founding fathers intended
