Swiss

n. a little guy with a mustache who used to make watches or cheese and has a reputation for never getting conquered -- so figured his place (called Switzerland instead of Swissland for some reason) would be a good place to store other people's money -- for a fee of course -- and keep it secret -- for a bigger fee of course

As in:
In the 1930s and 1940s, Hermann Goering and other Nazi thugs (excuse me, National Socialist heroes of the Fatherland) shipped trains full of confiscated fine art, precious metals, and other treasures to Swiss banks for safekeeping until the eventual glorious victory of the Thousand Year Reich.

or as in:

In the early 21st century, leaders of Banco de Puerco and other banking scum (excuse me, financial wizards who truly understood the monetary 'games' that were far to complex for the 'flyover people') transferred billions in assets to personal Swiss accounts in the midst of a nearly trillion dollar government bailout. The Swiss government, in turn, threatened criminal action against any Swiss bank that divulged deposit information regarding these billions to the SEC, Federal Reserve, or other investigative or regulatory bodies.
