mmmm?
Swiss banks have an enviable status in the world of banking; they are well-known for providing sophisticated, private and unobtrusive banking services to their clients, especially those of foreign nationalities. These qualities of Swiss banking (including their established status for financial and economic stability) have made them a popular destination for offshore banking.
Confidentiality is very, very important!
Offshore Asset Protection – There are a number of factors one must look for when setting up a secure asset protection structure. The tax-free status of the jurisdiction being used is always a major consideration. The anonymity of the corporations and foundations is also important. The availability of quality banks covered by bank secrecy laws with online banking is of paramount importance. Attorney client privilege is something to never be taken lightly and the protection must be tight. Don’t make the mistake of using jurisdictions that used to be good but in recent years have compromised their secrecy and privacy.
Question: Has confidentiality been breached in any of these countries with off-shore banking?
If so, what was the chain of events that led to such breach?
Would love to compare that with the "Trafigura - whistle-blower" situation.
Aside: Well aware that "Trafigura - whistle-blowing" was not inside information from an offshore bank.
