The meeting was recorded. This client owned and controlled an undeclared account at Basler Kantonalbank. The undeclared account was funded when the client provided Gadola's partner, the former UBS banker, with approximately $445,000 in cash. The client gave the cash to Gadola's partner during two meetings at a hotel in New Orleans. According to court documents, during the Nov. 6, 2010, meeting, Gadola attempted to persuade the client to not disclose the Basler Kantonalbank account to United States authorities. Gadola told the client that there was a "99.9 %" chance the client had nothing to worry about because the "likelihood. . .that they will somehow.. . find out about the account is practically zero percent." Further, Gadola told the client that there was no "paper trail" associated with the undeclared account.
