El Demonio:
All this is small beans, but suspect there is a lot more going on than some VISA rules. The other six global banking regions rejected VISA's rules, apart from the US.
It leaves the question as to why they granted VISA US this freedom to fuck up everyone. Seems obvious to me that ya gotta question the "beneficiaries"... which are, the US govt for collecting data on all and sundry and the IRS to enable em to screw an extra cent outta Internet "taxes" - so fuck it!
I am quiet happy sitting offshore and got no credit card transaction problems or any damned IRS forms to fill in for "US corps" cos IBill told me I need then!
PS.. Ya can take it, I ain't bothering to "incorporate" in the US and provide em with my inside leg measurements!
