<strong>Invest</strong><strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> a Comp<strong>an</strong>y or <strong>Fund</strong> that trades <strong>on</strong>l<strong>in</strong>e is <strong>an</strong> activity that lends itself well <strong>to</strong> <strong>an</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Offshore</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

Corporate Structur<strong>in</strong>g pl<strong>an</strong>.<br />

<strong>How</strong> it works is:<br />

(a) You <strong>in</strong>corporate a tax free <str<strong>on</strong>g>Offshore</str<strong>on</strong>g> Comp<strong>an</strong>y (“OC”)<br />

(b) You structure the Comp<strong>an</strong>y <strong>in</strong> such a way as <strong>to</strong> ensure that the Comp<strong>an</strong>y is seen <strong>to</strong> be m<strong>an</strong>aged <strong>an</strong>d<br />

c<strong>on</strong>trolled from <str<strong>on</strong>g>Offshore</str<strong>on</strong>g>; This c<strong>an</strong>/will be achieved by via deployment of a tax haven based Nom<strong>in</strong>ee<br />

Direc<strong>to</strong>r (which is a service that OCI c<strong>an</strong>/will provide)<br />

(c) Your OC either signs a general <strong>in</strong>vestment agreement with the <strong>Fund</strong> Comp<strong>an</strong>y or subscribes for<br />

shares <strong>in</strong> the <strong>Fund</strong> Comp<strong>an</strong>y<br />

(d) You adv<strong>an</strong>ce funds <strong>to</strong> your OC<br />

(e) The OC then adv<strong>an</strong>ces funds <strong>to</strong> the <strong>Fund</strong> Comp<strong>an</strong>y (see below “<strong>How</strong> <strong>to</strong> move m<strong>on</strong>ey offshore” which<br />

expla<strong>in</strong>s your opti<strong>on</strong>s <strong>in</strong> that regard)<br />

(f)<br />

The <strong>Fund</strong> Comp<strong>an</strong>y <strong>in</strong>vests/trades your m<strong>on</strong>ey<br />

(g) The <strong>Fund</strong> Comp<strong>an</strong>y pays a return periodically <strong>to</strong> your OC (e.g. m<strong>on</strong>thly or quarterly or 6 m<strong>on</strong>thly or<br />

yearly).<br />

(h) Returns paid <strong>to</strong> your OC c<strong>an</strong> be b<strong>an</strong>ked <strong>an</strong>d or re<strong>in</strong>vested <str<strong>on</strong>g>Offshore</str<strong>on</strong>g> potentially free from tax<br />

<strong>How</strong> <strong>to</strong> move M<strong>on</strong>ey <str<strong>on</strong>g>Offshore</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

Depend<strong>in</strong>g <strong>on</strong> your <strong>in</strong>dividual situati<strong>on</strong> there are several ways you might achieve this aim:<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

You could set up a dual structure (i.e. <strong>an</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Offshore</str<strong>on</strong>g> Comp<strong>an</strong>y the shares of which are held by <strong>an</strong><br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>Offshore</str<strong>on</strong>g> Private Foundati<strong>on</strong>). You would set up the Foundati<strong>on</strong> <strong>in</strong> such a way so that appears <strong>to</strong><br />

be a Charitable Foundati<strong>on</strong> <strong>an</strong>d then make regular d<strong>on</strong>ati<strong>on</strong>s <strong>to</strong> the Foundati<strong>on</strong> (which would<br />

then tr<strong>an</strong>sfer that m<strong>on</strong>ey <strong>to</strong> the IBC e.g. as share capital).<br />

Set up 2 Internati<strong>on</strong>al Bus<strong>in</strong>ess Comp<strong>an</strong>ies <str<strong>on</strong>g>Offshore</str<strong>on</strong>g> (i.e. “IBCs”). The first IBC you would enter<br />

<strong>in</strong><strong>to</strong> a speculative (e.g. high risk/potentially high return) general (l<strong>on</strong>g term) <strong>in</strong>vestment with.<br />

This IBC would then <strong>in</strong>vest m<strong>on</strong>ey with your trad<strong>in</strong>g IBC. The <strong>in</strong>vestment with the first IBC could<br />

be structured <strong>in</strong> such a way as <strong>to</strong> ensure that you w<strong>on</strong>’t be paid a return <strong>on</strong> that <strong>in</strong>vestment for<br />

quite a while. If the IRS ever asks me<strong>an</strong>time whatever happened <strong>to</strong> the m<strong>on</strong>ey you would just tell<br />

them I’m not yet entitled <strong>to</strong> a return.<br />

C<strong>on</strong>vert your local m<strong>on</strong>ey <strong>in</strong><strong>to</strong> bitco<strong>in</strong>s. Tr<strong>an</strong>sfer ownership of the bitco<strong>in</strong>s <strong>to</strong> the IBC. Have the<br />

IBC c<strong>on</strong>vert the bitco<strong>in</strong>s <strong>in</strong><strong>to</strong> hard currency which the IBC would then use <strong>to</strong> <strong>in</strong>vest <strong>in</strong> whatever.<br />

Engage a lawyer <strong>to</strong> DD <strong>on</strong> the <str<strong>on</strong>g>Offshore</str<strong>on</strong>g> Comp<strong>an</strong>y or Foundati<strong>on</strong> you <strong>in</strong>tend <strong>to</strong> send m<strong>on</strong>ey <strong>to</strong>.<br />

Whilst he’s mak<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>quiries <strong>to</strong> c<strong>on</strong>firm that the entity exists etc., (as you might do prior <strong>to</strong> a real<br />

estate purchase) you park the m<strong>on</strong>ey you <strong>in</strong>tend <strong>to</strong> <strong>in</strong>vest <strong>in</strong> the Lawyer’s Trust/Client/Escrow<br />

Account. Once he’s completed his <strong>in</strong>quiries you <strong>in</strong>struct the Lawyer <strong>to</strong> send the funds from his<br />

Trust/Client/Escrow account <strong>to</strong> the <str<strong>on</strong>g>Offshore</str<strong>on</strong>g> Comp<strong>an</strong>y or Foundati<strong>on</strong>’s <str<strong>on</strong>g>B<strong>an</strong>k</str<strong>on</strong>g> Account


“Gift” the m<strong>on</strong>ey <strong>to</strong> a family member (or close friend) overseas <strong>an</strong>d then have that family member<br />

tr<strong>an</strong>sfer the m<strong>on</strong>ey <strong>to</strong> your <str<strong>on</strong>g>Offshore</str<strong>on</strong>g> Comp<strong>an</strong>y<br />

If you are hold<strong>in</strong>g funds <strong>in</strong> your own name you could set up a pers<strong>on</strong>al account <str<strong>on</strong>g>Offshore</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>an</strong>d then<br />

tr<strong>an</strong>sfer the m<strong>on</strong>ey from your Onshore b<strong>an</strong>k account <strong>to</strong> your <str<strong>on</strong>g>Offshore</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>B<strong>an</strong>k</str<strong>on</strong>g> Account. Same could<br />

be d<strong>on</strong>e <strong>in</strong> the case of funds be<strong>in</strong>g held <strong>in</strong> a Comp<strong>an</strong>y account <strong>on</strong>shore (i.e. you set up <strong>an</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Offshore</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

Privacy Haven Account <strong>in</strong> the name of your local Comp<strong>an</strong>y <strong>an</strong>d have funds tr<strong>an</strong>sferred from the<br />

Comp<strong>an</strong>y’s Onshore account <strong>to</strong> your Comp<strong>an</strong>y’s <str<strong>on</strong>g>Offshore</str<strong>on</strong>g> account). If you open the account <strong>in</strong> the<br />

right place <strong>on</strong>shore preda<strong>to</strong>rs will really struggle <strong>to</strong> f<strong>in</strong>d out where the m<strong>on</strong>ey went <strong>on</strong>ce it l<strong>an</strong>ded<br />

offshore.<br />

You could set up your IBC as <strong>an</strong> <strong>Invest</strong>ment Comp<strong>an</strong>y <strong>an</strong>d enter <strong>in</strong><strong>to</strong> <strong>an</strong> arms’ length general<br />

<strong>in</strong>vestment agreement (or lo<strong>an</strong> agreement) with the IBC <strong>on</strong> commercial terms. Provided the IBC<br />

is <strong>in</strong>corporated <strong>in</strong> a Privacy Haven (<strong>an</strong>d <strong>in</strong> a country which does not have a TIEA with your home<br />

country) no <strong>on</strong>e should ever know that you actually own the IBC.<br />

You could withdraw your m<strong>on</strong>ey from the b<strong>an</strong>k <strong>in</strong> cash, use that cash <strong>to</strong> buy someth<strong>in</strong>g of great<br />

value which is easily tr<strong>an</strong>sportable (e.g. jewelry, gemst<strong>on</strong>es, watches, <strong>an</strong> artwork/s, collectibles<br />

etc.) fly overseas with these items (ideally <strong>to</strong> the country where your <str<strong>on</strong>g>Offshore</str<strong>on</strong>g> Comp<strong>an</strong>y has its<br />

b<strong>an</strong>k account), sell them <strong>to</strong> a broker or privately whilst abroad <strong>an</strong>d then deposit that m<strong>on</strong>ey <strong>in</strong><strong>to</strong><br />

your <str<strong>on</strong>g>Offshore</str<strong>on</strong>g> Comp<strong>an</strong>y’s <str<strong>on</strong>g>B<strong>an</strong>k</str<strong>on</strong>g> Account.<br />

If you are <strong>an</strong> <strong>on</strong>l<strong>in</strong>e trader (e.g. Forex/Commodities/Derivatives/Share Trader) you could open a<br />

Brokerage Account <strong>in</strong> your own name, tr<strong>an</strong>sfer funds <strong>to</strong> your pers<strong>on</strong>al brokerage account, then<br />

open a Brokerage Account (with the same broker) <strong>in</strong> the name of your <str<strong>on</strong>g>Offshore</str<strong>on</strong>g> Comp<strong>an</strong>y <strong>an</strong>d<br />

move m<strong>on</strong>ies (as <strong>an</strong> <strong>in</strong>ternal tr<strong>an</strong>sfer, i.e. bey<strong>on</strong>d the view of “<strong>on</strong>shore” authorities) from your<br />

pers<strong>on</strong>al Brokerage account <strong>to</strong> the Comp<strong>an</strong>y’s Brokerage account.<br />

Local laws c<strong>an</strong> have <strong>an</strong> impact. Hence it would be wise <strong>to</strong> seek local tax/legal advice before committ<strong>in</strong>g <strong>to</strong><br />

embark <strong>on</strong> such <strong>an</strong> endeavor.
