IRS Offers Second Chance to Taxpayers with Undeclared Foreign Holdings
The IRS has “moved East” in its attack on foreign banks and their U.S. customers with undisclosed offshore accounts. On Jan. 26, the DOJ indicted Vaibhave Dahake, an Indian-American businessman in New Jersey, for conspiring with several bankers at “an international bank” to maintain undisclosed accounts with the bank's offshore division, and thereby avoid his U.S. tax obligations. Press reports have identified that international bank as global banking giant HSBC, which has substantial operations in India.
Many observers have long suspected that Asia (particularly India, Hong Kong, Singapore and Korea), as well as Israel and other places outside Europe, are now “where the money is,” and that the number of foreign accountholders in these places dwarfs even the 52,000 who reportedly had accounts with Swiss bank UBS at the time of its tax-evasion controversy in 2008. The IRS is also said to be sifting through the information provided by taxpayers who already made voluntary disclosures to identify other banks to which some UBS accounts were transferred. These institutions are apparently also under scrutiny.

Risks of “Baseball Arbitration” in Resolving Real Estate Disputes
“Baseball arbitration” refers to the process used in Major League Baseball in which if an eligible player's representative and the club ownership cannot reach a compensation agreement through negotiation, each party enters a final submission and during a formal hearing each side — player and management — presents its case and then the designated panel of arbitrators chooses one of the salary bids with no other result being allowed. This method has become increasingly popular even beyond the sport of baseball.
