This relates to something I have been wondering about: If one could get one's company to pay one in electronic cash, what is to stop one from piling the coins in a Datahaven somewhere (assuming one existed that would be usable for these purposes) and say to the IRS: Money? What money? Can you find any of my money? I, uhh... lost it! Yeah, that's it!! What is to stop the IRS from pointing out that you received the money from your employer? Maybe you could convince them you were unable to pay, but that would require squirreling away(and refraining from using) all your assets.
On the other hand, if your employer was willing to do some sneaky ecash stuff, then it might get interesting. Alternately, how about having an off-shore bank that supposedly has very high interest rates and fees. "Sorry, this is all I have left" | Chris Adams <adamsc@io-online.com> - Webpages for sale!
