Can someone please tell me the origin of this whole Anguilla story that's been going around a lot for the past few days... I just got onto the list two days ago, and I didn't catch the beginning of it... thanks,

In a nut shell, taxbomber.com was on my system in Anguilla. He was selling "camoflauge passports". One David Evans of Bloomberg Business News wrote an article where he quoted taxbombers page saying something like "it is illegal to use these passports to open up bank accounts, but there is little chance of getting caught". I got a call from my lawyer who had seen the article (along with just about everyone else in Anguilla) and he told me that was illegal in Anguilla and I should cancle the account. I did and taxbomber moved to another provider in another country. 1) A number of cypherpunks are dissapointed that I did not fight to my death to defend this guy. 2) If the guy did not mention where his site was, the reporter probably would never have mentioned Anguilla and me in the article. 3) If something is illegal in one country and legal in another, the guy can move. Going after the provider in one country will not stop him. 4) Anguilla is a taxhaven. Anything that gives the country a bad name hurts the clean business, where most of the money is. -- Vince ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Vincent Cate vince@offshore.com.ai http://www.offshore.com.ai/vince/ Offshore Information Services http://www.offshore.com.ai/
