As I have said before, their wealth is in large part due to this. 1.5 million would be quite a bit in today's money.

Perhaps, but if you want to "go there" so to speak
, then the entire nation of Switzerland should be divided up and given to the Jewish people whose property (and we are talking billions of dollars here) was taken by the Nazis and has never been returned to this day. Everyone knows it is there, but no one will return it due to legal technicalities like no one can confirm it was stolen because the only people who know that were gassed or cooked in a concentration camp. The whole thing just sickens me.
