1. Offshore Private Banking
Introduction: There are a lot of myths floating around the Internet about offshore private
banking and anonymous banking. We're going to try to illuminate the truth so that you can
avoid scams and enter into an anonymous banking relationship better informed.
ID-Free Banking: This is the standard concept of anonymous banking, in which the bank
does not know who you are. Some examples of past no ID accounts were the Austrian
Sparbuch accounts and numbered accounts located in various nations. With the former, the
client would have to physically be in Austria to take out money, though he or she did not
have to present ID, and there were enforced withdrawal limits. The process was similar
with the numbered accounts, except they were present in multiple countries and thus were
more convenient. Neither type of account exists today.
The destructive culprit is the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), a worldwide NGO that
has christened itself as a police force and regulates banks all around the world.
Unfortunately, the banks do not protest. Of course, this is because if they resist, they face
the all-powerful blacklist in which the countries that willingly dance with the devil will lock
them out of the international wire system. This is a crippling action for any nation's
economy.
This organization has introduced the "know your customer" doctrine as well as the signing
of numerous treaties that enforce said doctrine among the UN member nations. These
treaties only concern what documents that banks must have from their clients, not topics
like transparency or the exchange of information. Nevertheless, if they fail to comply they
may be blacklisted. So any legitimate bank is going to request ID and references. Though
many banks require you to visit the bank to open an account, we do not. We can open
accounts in Guatemala, Costa Rica, Ecuador, and Mexico without you visiting.
Offshore Bank Secrecy: There is a big difference between anonymous banking and bank
secrecy. In theory, bank secrecy means that the banks know who you are but do not give
this information away. Today, with the new treaties being signed by countries in the OECD
this is not a good system for real privacy, so this does not work in practice. In general, then,
it's best never bank in a country that has signed these treaties. Guatemala has not and is not
in any MLAT (Mutual Legal Assistance Treaties). It is best that the bank does not have
your identification information.
No matter what, however, if you are being tried for a criminal activity (serious crimes, not
tax evasion or any white collar crime), your information will be shared, whether the bank
has your documents or just the law firm.
Anonymous Corporations and Foundations: Forming an anonymous (bearer share)
corporation provides you with extremely good protection since your name does not appear
in any public registry. The owner is whoever possess the physical stock certificates that do
not have names of persons on them. However, the privacy is diminished if the bank knows
whom the beneficiary owner of a corporation is due to the aforementioned tax treaties

signed any TIEA (Tax Information Exchange Agreements) or MLAT (Mutual Legal
Assistance Treaties) then the information will be given in case of an inquiry since the bank
does know who you are.
Offshore Trusts: The best solution for a person seeking anonymity is to form an offshore
trust with an offshore law firm. This document is in writing and delineates the terms of the
International Trust Agreement, signed between the law firm and the client. Topics include
the handling of assets, banking, etc.
The client is not anonymous to us, the law firm, and we do require ID in the form of a
scanned notarized copy of a passport and driver's license (or other government-issued ID).
However, the banks will not have your name; they cannot give out information they do not
have. The recent treaties do not deal with attorney-client privilege, only with bank secrecy.
Thus, the mighty seal of attorney-client privilege must be broken in a Guatemalan court in
order for anybody else to get your financial information and records. This is very, very
difficult.
After the International Trust Agreement has been created, the law firm will form a
Guatemala corporation (empresa) and only the law firm's name will appear on the records
and as the beneficiary owner, keeping you anonymous to all other parties. The bank
account will also be opened in a stable bank with billions of dollars in assets. Since you are
not the signatory on the bank account, the law firm is, the bank has no information on you
and your privacy remains intact. The only way your information could be revealed is if
attorney-client privilege was broken in Guatemala. This can be done if there is hard
evidence (never a suspicion) that you have committed a criminal offense that is considered
criminal in Guatemala. Offenses such as tax evasion, tax avoidance, money laundering, and
other white collar crimes are not criminal offenses in Guatemala. Things that are include
homicide, child pornography, terrorism, and other crimes of similar magnitude.
To take the privacy one step further, a Guatemalan judge can seal your bank records and
all trust agreements signed with a judicial seal. Only a judge from a higher court can break
this seal, and this is highly improbable. Again, this would only be done if there was serious,
incriminating evidence against you.
Distress Clause: One of the best features of our anonymous corporations is the distress clause.
This can be contained in the ITA (International Trust Agreement) and states what you would like
the law firm to do in case of "distress." You are free to define distress as you see fit. Past
examples of clauses include actions in the face of a divorce, a lawsuit, blackmail, or any other
action by a financial enemy. If you or your business were to come under distress, you can say that
you give the authorization to the law firm to remove your control over the funds. This gives you
plausible deniability if an official from your home country were to inquire about the funds,
demand that you repatriate them, or even try to seize them. You would say that you honestly
cannot do so and this would be true.

3. Other arrangements are possible with respect to how the funds should be managed or invested in
various situations of distress, as well as when control should be regranted. This is actually a
superior arrangement than that of the numbered accounts in many ways.
You and Your Corporation: You get a Power of Attorney over the corporation and have all of
the passwords to access the online banking. You can see a history of transactions, the balance,
and can send international wire transfers. ATM cards are available, as well as secured Visa cards.
Your name will not appear on the cards.
Funding Your Corporation: First wiring the money to the law firm's attorney-client trust
account to break the trail from the current location of the money to the corporation account is the
best way to fund the corporation. All of these transactions are private and secured by attorney-
client privilege. Most of the time they will not be able to be revealed in court. Today, this is the
most anonymous it gets.
Fees: The total cost for an International Trust Agreement with distress clause, bank account with
online banking, and a Guatemalan Corporation (Empresa) is $6,000. There is an additional
charge of 3% of all incoming funds for legal fees, the ongoing expenses involved, and our own
liability in vouching for the origin of the funds.
Time Frame: 15 working days is the average time taken to complete the entire process,
including the receipt of documents, instructions, and funds.
Personal Visit: We encourage you to visit Guatemala, but this is not at all necessary. We can
pick you up at the airport, if necessary, or your hotel. We can get you corporate rates in 5 star
hotels in the capital. We do request that you give us 48 hours notice before your arrival so that we
can prepare for your visit.
