If it was a government sting operation the detials might be easily found. The kind of information we're discussing is clearly of high value to a great many people in the 60% bracket. Looking for it for free...Well, you may get what you pay for. I think that there is a high amount of value in a high volume, low overhead sort of tax avoidance operation. Right now, moving money overseas is expensive, and there is a high service fee. Reducing the up front costs that someone has to pay to get started is a market opportunity. As is producing accessible information about how to get started. While Unicorn may be correct in suggesting three or four volumes of tax law to get started properly, thats like suggesting Bach and Comer for someone who wants to get on the internet. When it was needed, there were far fewer people here. As to the obvious rejoinder of, 'as soon as its obvious, its illegal,' if enough people start to do it, theres a large lobby for keeping it legal. And if the overhead is low, all of those people have lots of money to spend keeping it legal and cheap.
