Pretty soon we'll run up against the problem of whether Tim May can configure a corporate in the U.S. to be operated by people who don't know who he is, and who can't find out who he is (when properly encouraged to cooperate by Ken Starr...). With or without government regulation, the most reliable people you can hire to operate that corporation for you may only want to do so if they are given the opportunity to somehow "know" you.
in the U.S. the _best_ you will ever do is run a smokescreen
I think you can probably use a bank in a privacy-enhancing-locale such as Switzerland as an effective intermediary in Amex card issuance, but if you really don't want the bank to know who you are, you'll probably need a corporate intermediary between you and the bank, with nominee officers.
dont use Switzerland; it has been translucent for at least 20 years and is fast approaching transparency. Lichtenstein --if you can get an introduction into Landesbank from a local 'truehand' --even better, if you can get into the PrivatBank. just remember, if it is the former, as you enter the main circle in Vaduz from the south, get out and kiss the bricks. if you can not get the introduction, dont count on the extra services. secondly, you can not own anything in Lichtenstein without a residency permit and good luck on that one. as they say: no further information available.... -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3i Charset: latin1 Comment: No safety this side of the grave.
