Nothing new here. I don't think it is anything new that the IRS requires US Citizens report funds held offshore over a certain threshhold.
In the case of accounts in Swiss, Bahamian, or Cayman banks, I've never heard of anyway for them to know about it unless you tell them *or* you create a paper trail by transferring into a US bank.
