The Snowden Effect
August 13, 2013 By: Kelly Diamond, Publisher Given the response from various countries and companies, and to some extent even the pundits, I am comfortable calling the post Snowden hullabaloo “The Snowden Effect”. The interesting rub is, we are all part of it. How we respond to it likewise contributes to the Snowden Effect. Whenever […]
Offshore Re-education Camp: Lesson 7
August 6, 2013 By: Paul Seymour, Director of Client Services WARNING: THINKING MAN’S CONTENT TO FOLLOW. THE DHS MANDATES THAT WE WARN US CITIZENS AGAINST READING SUCH MATERIAL UNDER PENALTY OF A $250,000 FINE, UP TO 5 YEARS IN PRISON, OR BOTH. ALL OTHERS CAN PARTAKE AS THEY PLEASE.

Wrong House!
August 5, 2013 By: Kelly Diamond, Publisher Evidently para-military cops aren’t the only ones breaking into the wrong houses these days. Another entity of thugs has joined the ranks of our noble drug warriors. They also break into the wrong homes, seize pets, and destroy property. And just like their law enforcing counterparts, they pay […]
FATCA: IRS = International Revenue Service
July 31, 2013 By: Kelly Diamond, Publisher I’ve been operating in a fog. I honestly thought FATCA was only meant for American CITIZENS. Turns out it’s meant for “U.S. Persons”.

July 29, 2013 By: Bobby Casey, Managing Director GWP Today, I want to share a comparative case study between three business partners: two of which are asset protection clients of mine, and one who decided asset protection planning was unnecessary. I am not telling you this to say that if the third little pig chose […]

July 26, 2013 By: Kelly Diamond, Publisher Most people, regardless of their political bent, take issue with paying into a system that offers nothing in return.

Trust Me! I’m From the IRS…
July 22, 2013 By: Brian Mahany, Contributor and Tax Attorney Whether deliberate or an “honest” mistake on the part of a bloated system, the IRS has reneged on some of the amnesty approval letters issued to offshore account holders. Back in the early 80’s, I was a police officer while attending law school in New […]
What Will Rise from Detroit’s Ashes?
July 19, 2013 By: Kelly Diamond, Publisher The market, much like gravity, has its laws… and will ultimately have its way. Detroit is no exception. Propped up by our once successful auto industry, and investor faith in it, the weight of Detroit’s unions and over-extension in public sector employment and benefits proved to be more […]
IRS & State Department To Begin “Cooperating”
July 17, 2013 By: Brian Mahany, Contributing Writer With the passing of FATCA, it’s imperative to get in compliance with your taxes, lest your passport application or renewal get held up!
