Hi,

One might wants to protect bitcoin related business using offshore company and a bank account. Especially giving the recent US aggression towards bitcoin.

Looks like Internet is full of websites where one can register an offshore company for 300-1500 USD depending on if you need a bank account and

However, most of Google ads I checked had scam complains.

Can you recommend any service which you have found working and not a scam?

You do know that world leaders, including the president of USA, in the G8 decided to fight, prosecute and try to shut down offshore companies.

Going purely Bitcoin would be your best option I think and buying gold/silver with Bitcoin isn't illegal ( yet ) and will mean you can sell it for whatever paper currency you need, even if they do make it illegal there's little they can do unless they can specifically link your gold/silver to Bitcoins somehow but that would be almost impossible.

The US and UK governments are determined to shut us (The Isle of Man) down, despite the fact that they operate the two biggest money laundering areas in the world (Delaware and the City of London). I wish they'd just fuck off.

An offshore company and bank account wont help you much against the US gov
if your business is doing business with US customers and they deem your business is not operating according to their law.

Regardless of that though,
any company that legally registers off shore companies and bank accounts, will need your full ID anyway,
so its not as anonymous as you may think.
