I think the era of “darks” has slowly begun to come to an end, yet another successful move by the EU, OECD, and the USA in their fight against organized crime. You can’t blame them for that. One should add here that it was about time methods were found to remove those very badly photoshopped copies of passports, utility bills, and other documents people thought were official papers but which were just fake. This has been achieved with a chip in passports, video verification, etc.
What now, have we defeated crime, have we defeated document forgery and prevented all kinds of identity manipulation when it comes to opening bank accounts in various offshore jurisdictions or setting up companies in dubious countries or even in completely legitimate countries like England, Malta, Germany, France, Cyprus, and yes, even the Scandinavian countries!?
To that I can answer with a resounding NO - we have not; it is still possible to circumvent the rules, and quite simply.
For example, in Germany you can still find notaries you can bribe with just 500 euros to confirm that the documents you have NOT signed in front of them are yours and that they are original even though they have never seen the documents. With these documents you can then, for example, go to a “garbage can” lawyer and have a company formed and go down to a bank and get an account opened.
You think, ahhhh… the bank guy can surely see whether it’s you on these documents or not, or he will want to see your original passport or check the documents you bring… yes, if you look like a bodybuilder with tattoos all over your head, sweat on your forehead, and no teeth in your mouth, then for sure. But if you look ordinary and decent and are completely calm and comfortable in the situation, then the bank does not ask for more if you can refer to the lawyer and possibly the notary who has arranged it all.
In other countries such as Cyprus you can do exactly the same trick; here I am also speaking from personal experience I had in January and February this year!
I found an agent who was to help me set up a Cyprus company and a bank account; I had several prior meetings with him by video and the same with many others, and it took me 1 year to track down this particular agent in Cyprus! I explained to him what my problem was, what I wanted, and that either it would be like that or I would not have him handle it. In return, I would pay three times the price of what he normally charged… that was stupid; I didn’t know he was at the expensive end, but never mind, he said you don’t need to worry at all, I’ll take care of it. My connections extend right into the inner political circles.
After a number of meetings and much back and forth and a deposit of 150K euros in the bank account to open it, I now have a completely anonymous company; no one can ever find out that I own the company either in Germany or in Cyprus.
It goes without saying that you will never get that far if your budget to establish a GmbH or LTD is at most 10,000 euros and you otherwise have no other capital; then you get nowhere. I am aware that back in the day you could buy documents, from services like seconeye (who got cought by the FBI) that handled all this for $100 and then it just ran from there, but unfortunately, dear reader, that was 10 years ago, and unfortunately, time moves forward and not backward.
You should be aware that if you throw information about these kinds of setups around to family and acquaintances, you will be exposed sooner or later. I would also not recommend that you live and reside in the countries where you register companies in this way.
Likewise, you should make sure that the companies are registered as foreign owned, that is, by an owner who does not live in the same country; in that way you already remove 50% of the attention from the authorities because they don’t bother with it unless you do something very criminal, launder millions, or do something else stupid and illegal.
When you have established the companies, you must make sure that the means of contact you pass on to the agent, notary, authorities, banks, etc., are anonymized; if you go down to your local phone shop and set up a SIM in your real name and pass it on, then you will be exposed sooner or later. Likewise, when you create email addresses and email people, you must have a strong encrypted and anonymized email (ProtonMail can be an option) and internet connection (VPN solutions can be an option) as well as use a device you do not normally use.
If you have seen through what I am explaining to you here, then you are really far along in your plans to get a 100% anonymous company with a bank account that you can use completely freely without paying a euro in personal tax, if you crack the code for how to do it.
If you are interested in getting an explanation of this as well, then make a reply; if you have suggestions, changes, or anything else, then do post.
This is my solution, and I am not saying it covers everyone’s needs or that EVERYONE can just do it.
