Jack Barouh, a 65-year-old Golden Beach man, pleaded guilty to tax evasion charges related to the probe of Swiss bank UBS. His attorney blames it on the Holocaust.

This is either a really sad story or a pretty desperate exploitation of one of the biggest tragedies in human history to try to excuse blatant greed. Or maybe both.
