Seems strange; Why would the US need the identities of the accounts involved if they're looking at them because allegations were made that these

account holders are tax evaders. If, that's the case, that allegations were made, then they should already know the identity of those people with the accounts. Sounds to me like the US is on a populist fishing expedition.
