&lt;p&gt;Michigan Senator Carl Levin (who I remember as more of a Teddy Bear than grizzly when he visited my fifth grade class back in the Great Lake State in which I was reared) just took it to UBS, spending about 15 minutes of the Senate&amp;#8217;s hearing (more of a cordial grilling, really) on the bank&amp;#8217;s tax evasion schemes to make sure UBS&amp;#8217;s Mark Branson verbally admitted, on behalf of his Swiss banking behemoth, to helping thousands of wealthy U.S. clients create sham corporations to avoid paying taxes&amp;#8212;the same wrongdoing UBS admitted to in writing when paying the U.S. $780 million in fines.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Levin&amp;nbsp;has also&amp;nbsp;been trying to get other public admissions out of Branson, but so far Branson has been tight-lipped or, as Levin said minutes ago, &amp;#8220;needlessly evasive.&amp;#8221; Indeed, to say the least, Levin&amp;nbsp;does&amp;nbsp;not seem pleased with Branson&#39;s testimony&amp;nbsp;thus far, so expect the Senator not to stop until he gets his names. Not today, of course, but sometime in the near future, Combover Carl will, I have little doubt,&amp;nbsp;get what he wants: UBS to reveal the names of&amp;nbsp;thousands of their&amp;nbsp;U.S. clients.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Other banks beware:&amp;nbsp;there have been hints by&amp;nbsp;inquirers other than Levin during the hearing that additional Swiss entities (hint: Credit Suisse) will be questioned at some point for similar wrongdoings.&lt;/p&gt;
