Switzerland millionaire hit by record speed fine

Here's a good way to solve local tax problems. Too bad you'll never see it in the US.

 

Switzerland sucks. Zurich is where fun goes to die.

 

are you serious?

fuck that

 

Bahnhofstrasse is the one and only big-city thoroughfare I've ever walked for miles without seeing even a single hot chick.

Seriously, not even one. What's up with that?

 

Switzerland is where all the old and rich men go to escape the treats of the real world.

 

They fined him 1% of his net worth. I like the idea.

 

just 1% of this guy wealth, so it was like a trade that went bad.

i am sure he can get caught speeding many more times before the drawdown becoming nasty and depressing.

 

the reason you and most others on ET like the idea is because it'd mean your fine would be like $24.

anyway it's a dumb idea. how would you like the government sticking their nose in your personal finances each time you got a ticket?

 

Yeah, too bad.

 

Exactly.
