7. Not defending, but American students often need

to set up checking accounts in the European area where they are living, so as to bank there, write rent checks, receive wires from home, etc. I know both of them lived abroad, so it may be from that time frame. I had everyday friend who maintained their Swiss accounts, though I guess Swiss banks won't service Americans any longer, after the tax evasion scandal. Not sure if the Romneys closed their Swiss accounts in the aftermath of that, or not, or what. Certainly doesn't seem like the kind of thing a US candidate wants to distract from his campaign.
