I'm surprised he gave up the position so easily in the first place. I figured he would've used that resignation as a bargaining chip at some point to trade away his position for less heat/charges against him from the US or Swiss or both.
Either he figures things aren't as bad for him now that everyone around him is getting picked off, or he has enough fall guys ahead of him to take the blame, or thinks he has more support that will protect him, or he wants to cash this chip in at a later date when things look really dire.
