Howdy Horace,
Seems more like UBS and Deutsche bank were playing poker in a high
stakes game and suddenly discovered the house was using a pinocle
deck.
They complained to the bartender, only to learn he was kin to the
guy dealing the cards.
I think it showed very poor sportsmanship for the Swiss to complain
that somebody was cheating. After all.. in order for UBS and
Deutsche bank to discover they were being conned.. they first had
to "mark" the cards.
It's got to the point where ya just can't trust anyone that ain't
kin... and maybe..well.. err...

Howdy Richard,
I guess the only way to tell for sure who the cooks are is by the tin
foil scarves the kooks wear over their heads. 8^) Unfortunately, the
cons can also be cooks too, so there is no way to tell who they are
until it is too late.
Best regards,
