All one has to do to set up offshore is go take a vacation and walk into a normal bank in a normal first world country. People looking to have an account in places like Venawtu(sp) etc, used to go there becuase they want it kept a secret..Forget about that bit, you have to report your accounts and the money in them- so go to another first world country and bring a letter from your bank that your in good standing. You don't have to pay anyone anything to do this for you, you can do it yourself for free.
