    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.
    http://swissnetbank.com/

    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.

    If your looking to "hide" money from the Gov't, you better spend a little cash on a GOOD Legal advisor, before you do.

    Remember, the gov't may not be able to know what's there, but they know what leaves this country 99.5% of the time

      I have an offshore account because it's the only way I can avoid the huge bank charges applied by UK banks when dealing in dollar checks from US billing companies.

      Wizzo, you are right about that unless it's a paper bag cash job LOL.

        Not trying to hide anything. Maybe 2 years from now all my money will made and stored electronicly. Anytime I need paper money I can wire some electronic money into an ATM card. We don't need dollars or a government to trade services now that we have the internet. This is going to change everything.

        Look at traffic -- another form of electronic money -- can a government tax 1000 blind hits from a thumbnail of Britney Spears ass? -- it would be impossible. The government can't even tax blowjobs -- what good are they then! ;) If I really wanted to I could pay someone to deliver groceries to my apartment in exchange for traffic.

        That's just my 2 cents.

            This isn't the early 1900's anymore, I wouldn't count on the world's most powerful nation having such 'a scare'... Unless like aliens took over Washington D.C. or something like that.

              History repeats itself...

              The price of Gold jumped from $35 an ounce to $875 in 1980 -- if people weren't scared, then why the fuck did they buy Gold...?

                Anyway he's a theory although I am still going to do more research.

                All the popular electronic money systems now are backed by gold (although some are backed by silver, platinum, etc...) but by far the most popular seems to be gold. Many governments now are quietly holding down the price of gold artificially (The US, Switzerland, Britain...) if you read about this it gets VERY interesting. There are gold mining companies in Africa that are going out of business because of this... Anyway gold will never lose its value... and the governments don't like this fact.

                Once people like me start buying and trading w/ electronic money backed by gold -- the value of gold will climb -- there will be no way for the governments or anyone else to continue to hold down the price... and a lot of people are going to lose a lot of money. There's already over 1 ton of gold out there being used to back electronic money -- and this is just the beginning. The internet is very powerful -- look how many people said that trading stocks over the internet would never catch on or affect the stock market -- now everyone trades online... This is just the beginning...

                          TheFly, actually all swiss banks now report to our irs as I have heard it.

                          I could be wrong, But I know I read that somewhere not long ago in fact.
