Has anyone here got into electronic offshore banking?

I did a lot of surfing and this is the best bank that I found...

Looks pretty cool... I also found another one that you can sign up for online -- it's a swiss bank account -- but you can only transfer money in and out of it by wire, and you have to make your first initial deposit by credit card for identity purposes.

Anyway that would be really cool to have some money safe in a Swiss bank ;) From what I've read and heard from people in Europe -- it's the best way to keep your money private. I read it's actually a "crime" for a Swiss banker to reveal your personal banking information w/o permission.

Anyway the more I read about this stuff the less I trust the US banking system -- and the more I see it is doomed to fail eventually. Also as an American citizen you have the right to keep your money anywhere you want -- all we need is a good scare here in the US and the whole system will collapse. I think more and more people like me will figure out that banks here in the US have high overhead and very little real money backing your savings.
