I, and no doubt many other cypherpunks resident in the USA, have received a lot of junk mail from Costa Rica, offering dummy Costa Rican corporations. The theory is you set up a mail drop in Costa Rica, then you gradually move all your assets to be owned by this mail drop, so that your house, your car etc, all belong to this mail drop. The junk mail claims that this makes you immune to sue happy lawyers -- that this makes you lawsuit proof. I believe this claim. Unfortunately I have also received other junk mail offering competing services, which claims that Costa Rican dummy corporations have the same effect on revenuers as catnip does on cats, and blood in the water does on sharks. This claim also sounds highly plausible to me. Doubtless the services offered by the Costa Ricans would work so long as you never generated documents going to the revenuers that showed the Costa Rican address. This might be a wee bit tricky, as the revenuers get a report whenever any financial asset is sold within America. And remember, if you do set up a dummy foreign corporation, (preferably one that looks more plausible than those offered by the Costa Ricans), if you set it up in consultation with an American advisor, that advisor's next report will probably be to the revenuers. -- Critias_the_conspirator
