The world is not enough

If you can't trust a Swiss banker, then what's the world come to?  


I wonder if these lines would have been there in the movie if it was made after the financial market collapse of 2008. An example from the Swiss side of the story is that on 18 February 2009, United Bank of Switzerland (UBS) agreed to pay a fine of $780 million to the U.S. Government and entered into a deferred prosecution agreement on charges of conspiring to defraud the United States by impeding the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). For the greed of man, the world is surely not enough! Oh, grow up, double-O Seven!
