Safe deposit boxes in Switzerland are being filled with CHF 1,000 notes. 59% of all Swiss banknotes outstanding are 1000 notes. These are being used for tax evasion and probably terrorism and drug deals, with the knowledge of the SNB.
Update: "The U.S. Justice Department called Switzerland's largest private bank a fugitive from justice on Friday after it didn't send any representatives to a court hearing in New York, where it has been charged with conspired with American clients to hide $1.2 billion from the Internal Revenue Service."
