Sure.. and yes, the US govt did want him for some domestic tax offenses - and he was convicted for this in the US.
The banks won't really do much, application needs to be made to Swiss courts and evidence produced. Production of the evidence can be any alleged govt officer lying his head off and producing false paperwork - who is gonna bother once he leaves Switzerland? The most would be a complaint to the US embassy in Switzerland - oops, sorry, we made a mistake
