    A new name and surname with obtaining Turkish citizenship through investment

    Whoa, whoa. If Erdogan is dreaming about something sometimes, it doesn't mean it will ever happen. No pricking way they're going to be in the EU ever. Just a "Eurodream". But in the countries like Turkey, especially if you have 400 k for initial investment, you'd be able to find ways and means...

    Trump won, opinions?

    Predictable outcome, despite all mud-washing, woke media, assassination attempts, criminal convictions etc. Democrats failed completely with President Biden in his mental capacities reminiscent of Soviet rulers from late Brezhnev. And Harris, if won, could have shared the destiny of the last...

    Cashing out crypto with almost non SoF?

    Could you elaborate a bit more on what kind of gaps in history there're are present? No proper track of purchase/acquisition txes as far as I understand? For the mixer part - does it affect all or most of your crypto portfolio? Unfortunately, even crypto-friendly banks are still banks, bound...

    Best Global Locations for Minimizing Personal and Business Taxes with a 190K EURO Budget

    Can vouch for those points. Not as artificial as Dubai is :) Quite outdated information IMHO. Nowadays, Georgia is more aligned to Russia than it ever was on post-Soviet landscape. Saakashvili is long gone, Zurabishvili (President) is in opposition, EU countries threaten to severe ties with...

    Advcash / Volet update (not looking good).

    Cryptos, other virtual currencies like Perfect Money and Payeer, I suppose. Volet has a very direct appeal to crypto community via its past partnerships with Binance etc. and its "offshore" status. You can't expect that kind of operation to have stable banking rails in modern realities.

    Why is Lithuania popular for EMIs?

    @ilke reproduced the history of Lithuanian EMI's rise and fail in a very precise way :D Just want to add a few details on this topic: 1. Lithuania started actively marketing itself to market participants as new European FinTech hub immediately after Brexit happened. However, while I appreciate...

    Offshore Pro / International Wealth scam

    In common sense I can understand where your opinion is coming from. However, it's reality that happens all the time when you deal with high-risk financial products and those who issue, market and sell them. There's no warranty and those solutions come and go. Let me give you FMCG example - could...

    How hard is to get a financial license?

    You may be fine with ISO-style arrangement as it's common in the US or EMD agent status within EEA/UK if your business model is simple, you put fate your business, its risk appetites, and customer due diligence. In most cases, your expenses can be limited to white-label setup fees imposed by...

    World Citizen Passport..?

    The fact that the "world passport" was at some points of time recognized by some states and even if people were able to gain entry somehow somewhere doesn't make that one valid (probably unless you're a stateless person, though you may be better off getting travel document issued by some state...

    Offshore Pro / International Wealth scam

    It's not just an "authentic Union Pay card". You can have "authentic Visa/UnionPay/Masercard" in your hand, but ultimately security and fate of your funds is not down to a card scheme, but to the particular issuer. Of course, there are scheme due diligence, scheme operational rules etc. but in...

    Ok, well, so you went searching for "anonymous no name debit card"... and paid respective premium just to have no name recorded on your Most likely they just rely on you information they get from the card provider itself. Would not have been defensive, if not have seen how Valet (ex-advcash)...

    Offshore Pro / International Wealth scam

    You get what you pay for. "Anonymous" UP card from PH-based PSP is, by default, risky solution that can go off-rails ANYTIME. It works until it works. Whilst having no particular personal experience with offshorewealth/offshore pro (heard a couple of very diverse and mixed reviews in the...

    Best Affordable FX Brokerage License Options Today (Budget ~$50K)

    That's unfortunately insufficient budget in today's realities that won't get you licensed virtually anywhere considering setup costs + capital requirements + substance. I'd consider adhering to @Sols advice. As already mentioned by @Clearsky Network you're not going to get that on your budget...

    Euro Pacific bank is a scam

    Why is that so in your opinion? What's your definition of "legit" if we're taking into account that offshore banks, be it in PR or elsewhere, nowadays regularly lose or change their correspondents, be it with fedwire or regular bank? Do you determine fitness and propriety based on the fact they...

    What is the best country for crypto license?

    In Estonia, they've made every step possible within their powers to clear 99% of market participants. That is the cost of fast-forward will to attract economic growth and innovation to small ex-Soviet Baltic country (e-residency, anyone remembers that stuff?) and general deregulation...

    Somekind Blackbanx

    When you see that something is purporting to be a bank by all means and manners of communication, however, the ONLY entity that contains the name "bank" in itself is a Comoros banking license and the others have to balance on the worldplay "banx/BB" whatever sounds like bank you know that's...

    Need fast company registration and bank account

    So now we all have a better idea of what're you trying to achieve... Sorry to hear about that. It's not uncommon to be screwed by company formation agents in Dubai and elsewhere for account opening. So you're basing your judgment/bias against EMI's based on your current corporate structure...

    Obligations to KYC your customers

    If the company selling stuff is under legal obligation where it's incorporated or where it does business to collect KYC, perform AML checks, or, for example, verify customer's age before the transaction occurs ideally you just follow those obligations. If we speak about what you've provided as...
