I'd be interested in hearing a logically consistent argument for why bad guys hiding illegally gotten gains is a legitimate reason for opposing banking privacy, but bad guys using encrypted communication platforms for planning crimes isn't a legitimate reason to oppose communications privacy.
In both cares, the information would of course only be available to the government who will only ever use it for Legitimate Good(tm).
Swiss banks will routinely refuse to honour legal requests for information from international law enforcement, e.g from 3rd world countries investigating their own corrupt politicians.
