Among other things, Mr. Massey co-led the investigation and prosecution of the Swiss bank Wegelin & Co., the first-ever indictment and guilty plea of a foreign bank for tax fraud, as well as the negotiation of a non-prosecution agreement with a Liechtenstein bank that included a change in Liechtenstein law that effectively ended bank secrecy for U.S. taxpayers.

He has represented two Swiss banks, a Swiss law firm and a Swiss trade association in connection with the U.S. Department of Justice’s voluntary disclosure program for Swiss banks.
