I cant believe that you remember that conversation. That was an excellent book, I’ve tried ordering some of his others off of Amazon but they are never in stock. (except for the Merger: The International Conglomerate of Organized Crime which was also good)
The only problem is that the book is probably a little dated now. From what I have read Panama and Belize are good options if you want to simply set up an offshore bank.
I do think Vanuatu is fairly slow, but I would view it more as an escape from the civilized world when I did go there. They do have internet coverage. Integrity casinos before they were bought out used to have servers and some techies there. (the other half were in brisbane)
It’s one of several options. I think we all need to figure out what we want. The new law to me is not as much of a concern as getting away from north america. I am sick of Canada and the high taxes and have been wanting to move for years. The US is not an option because of the politics.
I’ve received several emails since the new law was announced by casinos I would not normally promote. They allow all states to gamble. I think that after 270 days what will happen is that transactions from ligitimate casinos will be blocked but the ones who are willing to push the envelope will survive and thrive.
