One could easily be cheated buying diamonds. One would really have to know what they are doing. Bitcoin is an option. But where to buy with cash? There are services that link buyers and sellers.

Husband from a crs reporting country. Wife non reporting country. Any way to use this to avoid crs? Open stock brokerage in her name. Have her give her husband power of attorney over the account. Maybe just get her to blindly sign for opening the account as often they can be done by mail. Would...

The Philippines has not signed crs as of this date. I can open a trading account there but only buy Philippine stocks. Does anyone know of a company that non Filipinos can open accounts at? So far I can't find any. Bank accounts yes. But not accounts to buy US stocks.

Real esate is not covered by crs. I was hoping to find some way to invest in non listed REITs. Or some property investment vehicle from a major global property company, ideally in Singapore. Something that does not trigger crs. Can't find anything.

Simple question. I want to use the wifi at work and surf the internet using my phone and laptop. If I use Tor on both my phone and laptop can anyone see what websites I am viewing? Or is everything that leaves my phone/laptop encrypted? I am not doing anything illegal. I just want privacy. I...

I think this is wise to consider. I recall during the 1997 Asian financial crisis those who had the guts to buy during that time did very well. Read of guys buying in Bali I believe and never looked back.

Thanks. I have used coins.ph. I find their fees somewhat high.

Union Bank of the Philippines, from what I read, has a bitcoin ATM and deals in bitcoin. They are difficult to reach by phone. Does anyone have any info on what services the bank offers in terms of bitcoin? Not hard to open a bank account in the Philippines.

Right. But ultimately the bank/brokerage asks for the name and the passport of the benficial owner. Extemely risky using a nominee. Whoever's name and passport is used is then faced with his/her tax considerations. Of course Putin and some others have the use of violence and worse as leverage...

Curious about something. Wealthy people used trusts, companies, nominee's etc to hide their ownership of assets. I have opened accounts in so called "tax havens" and was always asked for the name of the beneficial owner. Had to provide my passport. I notice that most of the assets mentioned in...

Put the cash in prepaid Visa or Mastercard. Use it for all your spending. In some countries this can be done at the Post Office.

There are two questions that could be asked. The minimum that will be reported and the minimum that triggers action. I met a Japanese who told me Japan will not take action unless the amount is over $1 million USD. Don't know if this is factual. Every country would have different policy in this...

Will banks and financial institutions wire to my Wise virtual multi currency accounts? Can I wire from these accounts to banks etc. They are in my name. In the past I had trouble using Wise when dealing with banks etc. Thanks

I spoke with a wealthy Japanese two years ago. He told me the Japanese government is not taking action unless the taxpayer has more than $1 million USD worth off assets non disclosed. Surely all countries also have a minimum amount that is needed to trigger an enforcement action. I would like to...

I would like to invest in quality real estate projects without having my details sent back to my home country.

Thanks. I was hoping that major property companies in for example Singapore offer investments. Non listed REITS for example. Guess no such thing.

Are there any investments in stable countries that do not trigger CRS reporting? Other than precious metals and property? I understand there are REITs that are not listed on an exchange. Do these get reported? I would be interested in Singapore or Hong Kong.

All depends on your goals. Certainly nothing wrong with that.

These people can have countless structures to conceal their identity. From my experience when one tries to open a bank/brokerage account in a reputable place you are required to state the beneficial owner and provide a passport in the name of that person. The media has glossed over this. How do...

If you want to make a LOT of money with anything then use a LOT of leverage. But be prepared to lose a LOT.
