It's more insidious than that. The US is actively working on dismantling the Swiss off-shore banking system. It started with US clients and expanded from there (see: https://www.privatebankerinternational.com/news/hsbc-swiss-p...)

Guess where all these un-banked HNWI are going and who is offering them a gold card to run their businesses from?





No idea, where will they go?

Dismantling off-shore banking is generally a good thing since I'd like the ultra rich to pay tax as that funds services that I use.

Most likely, the US.

There are lots of uses to off-shore banking than tax-evasion. In fact, I don't think it's feasible to use any modern (CRS/FATCA compliant) banking for tax-evasion.
