Really ? Yes, it actually looks that way. Do you happen to have more information on the scam itself or if some action is being set up?

I don't know if this is possible but, if I were you, I'd try to buy some time, e.g. 2-3 months and see if the new Trump Administration will not, by any chance, look at your case differently. Just thinking....

and downright fishy ! However, it's been so for some time now as per my understanding. Last edited: Nov 9, 2024

i.e. once pigs take off and start to fly..... How many times have we read that sort of BS that means nothing ?

Ah, you would go, would you ! And what if you found their door closed and nobody to answer a call ? Have you ever thought of this eventuality before posting ? Of course, an incident is always possible and, in my case, I took it that way while it could reasonably be seen as an incident. I...

Yes. The $ and the SWIFT went awry long time ago and it was high time to do something to stop that. These were sold to the world as business/commerce facilitating tools and ended up as instruments of domination and policy enforcement, sanction tools and outright plundering by inflation export...

Joe Frazier voted (presumably for Biden) in 2020. Perhaps this time he will invite Muhammad Ali to the polling station as well..... It is no wonder that ~5% of the votes can still be stolen but this time the trick won't work. 5 % won't be enough next week.

However, take care with the name because, as far as I know, IBKR allow only first-party transfers.

Because I believe that they don't need this tax. They did very well without it so far. Why kill the goose that lays golden eggs ? I believe, as previously stated, that they introduced some measures in order to be removed form the black & grey list, as per some undisclosed agreement. As for tax...

Strong support.

No, I disagree with you. Why would have Peter caused a mess by submitting 500 wire requests. There's nothing strange or abnormal here. Each client would have received their own funds. It was Novo that caused the mess as per my understanding. First, they gave themselves a reason to keep other...

Yes, I agree with you. For modest businesses, the main burden seems to be not the tax itself but what the taxation process will call for, one thing leading to the next, as pointed out in #5. We can only hope that this corporate tax is just for the show-room and that the UAE Government will not...

So, it was just a typo. The underlying idea was there. No problem, very funny indeed. :)

No, of course, I wouldn't ! I believe you are an experienced and knowledgeable person and can easily get my point of view which is slightly different: moving from the EU to the UAE isn't only for tax purposes. It's more general. The UAE was strongly promoted in the past as "business-friendly"...

Thank you for your support ! However, you should carefully read my posts. If you buy a new (or otherwise guaranteed) car and it can only bring you home and then stops, would you apply the same rule ? A deal is a deal. If it's dishonest(*) from seller's part, it's a scam. That's a valid...

Yes, that's the first step. I believe that has something to do with the deal for removing the UAE from some black/gray list. But what comes next ? Probably they will tax the off-shore, then they will lower the threshold over time. The other important issue is this one: how can they know your...

Why not "yolking" in this eggy context ? "Un peu tiré par les cheveux" (somewhat far-fetched) but a fair illustration of what one can make out of Nostradamus' quatrains: anything you like and even the opposite. :)

How did you happen to know Vanga ? This is funny, yet not serious, as far as I'm concerned. :) Here is something you may not know:

OK. What I don't quite catch is why you seem to be advocating for scammers and putting de facto a blame on scammed. This is shear truth. The fact is that the product in question wasn't supposed to be a high-risk one (*) and, besides, (see the text in bold characters above) the scammers made that...

Sorry, missed my edition. I wanted to point to the thread in general, not to Wellington's post, that I support, nevertheless.
