Hey 2thick, are you sure its just $10,000 ? I figured it would be a lot more. | ||

Well it can be done (although it takes a little more time). [This message has been edited by 2Thick (edited February 27, 2001).] | ||

try Bermuda - it is a hell of a lot closer and it is a nice place to visit too. ------------------ Build a man a fire, he is warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he is warm for a lifetime. | ||

Do not go to a Swiss or bermuda bank because they both have banking treaties with the U.S. that will possibly put you at risk of getting caught....I will have to check again to be sure but countries like Honduras, Equador, Chile, Brazil, Maylasia(sp) and there are a few others but not many. Right now I believe Costa Rica is still Ideal but last I heard the U.S. was trying to get them into a banking treaty also... I wouldn't mail but instead would travel to the country you wish to deposit your money and check up first on their laws taking money into their. I wouldn't risk traveling more then $9,500 leaving the U.S. just to have some leway in case you are detained while leaving. This is just a hypothetical answer to a hypothetical question, I will hypothetically check later for hypothetical banks [This message has been edited by TxCollegeguy (edited February 27, 2001).] | ||

Bermuda is nice for me b/c I can do work for businesses there, they can then pay someone, that someone has a bank account there. as a bermudian resident, she doesn't have to pay any taxes on that money and it gains interest. she then gives me the atm card for that account and I have full access to it here in the states and don't pay income tax on it. so if I make $100K there, I get 100% of it, whereas here in MA, I get roughly $13.42 of it. hee hee. theoretically of course. ------------------ Build a man a fire, he is warm for a day.

happy therotically that would be nice, but if you deposit checks or any payments in your name or with your signature therotically uncle sam might have access to it. Not to mention that lady could go to the bank and clear out the account and I don't think you would have a clearcut way of arguing it in your favor.... I am going to check with a few people I know for the name of a few banks that allow you to keep your assests in accounts in U.S. Currency and are in countries without banking treaties with the U.S. of course if you keep those accounts in U.S. currency if they offer an interest rate it will be a fraction of what it would be if you exchanged your currency...but thats for another post if anyone has any other questions along this line email me and I might be able to answer some of them [This message has been edited by TxCollegeguy (edited February 27, 2001).] | ||

1 more thing, transfering money from a U.S. account to a foreign account will be an open invitation for the least favorite 3 leter organization to investigate you and if they can prove you are transfering money to defer paying taxes you could face a felony conviction amongst losing your home, cars, and properties....Not to mention they now know where you account is and how much money you just put there |
