Drop Box

The US Government, in a $24 billion, federal lawsuit filed in Idaho January 2010 against the Swiss bank, Credit Suisse, claimed that Credit Suisse's resort lending programs must be illegal because the global banking giant ran them through a Cayman Islands drop box. "By doing so, Credit Suisse, like most entities who set out to engage in unlawful conduct, effectively admitted the unlawfulness of its schemes," the lawsuit reads. It is the legal opinion of the United States government that using a drop box address is an indication of illegal activity.
