Anguilla / taxbomber - legality
I meant to quote this part in the previous post: taxbomber:
Needless to say, we have NEVER EVER dealt in one single fake passport, nor have we ever offered, sold or brokered any forged, stolen or "lost" documents. Nor is there any need to do so, if you can get the real thing absolutely legally.
He was definately selling fake passports. He thinks of them as camouflage. If I look up fake in websters, they fit the definition. Turns out this is not legal in Anguilla. If it is no longer in his web page, you can see quotes from his web page in the David Evans article. The Internet spans many counties and if something is not legal in one country but legal in another, someone can move. He has moved. One of the exciting things about the Internet. If there are taxes in your country and banks cooperate with the government, you can incorporate in Anguilla, put your web site here, and run your business from here (coming in over the Internet) tax free. But fraud is illegal in Anguilla, and fake passports are concidered fraud. -- Vince http://online.offshore.com.ai/
I have never, nor do I ever plan to, use any sort of documentation other than that which this police state shoves down my throat, but I do wish to point something QUITE OBVIOUS out, which is that MANY places sell camoflauge passports, including Delta Press, several "police supply catalogs", alternative book catalogs (Such as Eden Press, which I *know* some of you have used, judging by your explosives knowledge ;)), and so on. There is NO reason to single out taxbombers site for camo passports. They *do* have legitimate usages, including terrorist situations when you don't want to be identified as an American (on a plane hijacking for example, American's are "white meat", because our country understands and responds to public sympathy much more than most -- whatever THAT means). What I am trying to get at is that camoflauge passports are NOT illegal -- they are for countries which no longer exist and are unusable at customs, at any foreign checkin point, and so on. They have specific usages, and specific reasons for being cheap (running between 50 to 500 bucks, tops). The other passports? Go to most 2nd or third world countries, offer to buy so much land, and I'd be surprised if you don't walk away with some sort of official documentation. There's a difference between being a broker (which it is my understanding taxbomber is) and being a forger or smuggler. But then, I do not know the parties in question and can only make assumptions. Loompanics has several books about getting foreign passports. for a bunch of people who do not care for the lack of freedom in encryption, privacy, etc, you sure seem like (pardon my phrasing) hard-asses when it comes to other peoples much of the time... :) What's that saying about liberty not going away all at once, but being nibbled away, for expedience and by parts?

They may not be illegal in the USA (yet?) but my lawyer says they are illegal in Anguilla. This is a different country. We do have our own laws. -- Vince ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Vincent Cate vince@offshore.com.ai http://www.offshore.com.ai/vince/ Offshore Information Services http://www.offshore.com.ai/
