Actually I don't think this is a hoax. I have heard of a number of speeding fines based on net-worth handed out in the time I lived in Switzerland.

The Swiss take speeding very seriously. I was photographed there in the spring doing 70 kmh in a 50 kmh zone. Not exactly racing in other words—and still my case has already gone to the public prosecutor with whom I'm now "negotiating" a settlement by email and telephone. It's all rather bizarre really.
