Right. And again - my friend with the B&B isn't out to screw anybody either. But as you said, the structure lends itself well to profiteers. Anyone with IRA-grade money in an offshore account is likely to have to pay taxes on it if someone bothers to enforce things. The shady accountant that offshored my friends' money? My accountant, too - also Hans Zimmer's accountant. Of the three of us, I was the least worried because the IRS has got to be pretty fucking bored to come after my ass. Kinda like you - assuming your money was still in an offshore account, a freelance technical writer who did a stint with IFOR 15 years ago is far less interesting than, say, David Cameron.
