Offshore banking, money laundering and anonymous browsing myths skewered at new personal & financial privacy information site Power Privacy

March 15, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
Adamstown, Pitcarin – A new web site offers insight into the latest challenges facing financial and personal privacy-seekers today, and guides subscribers through the modern technologies and special arrangements now best associated with keeping a low profile.

“It’s a very different world today than when offshore companies, IBCs, investment or asset protection trusts and other structures were developed. Or when the books were written that popularized their use for tax savings or other financial privacy,” said Power Privacy co-founder and managing editor Jonathan Winthrop. “Power Privacy offers a timely new perspective that’s absolutely relevant for the new post-Patriot Act era scrutiny of assets and Internet and offline activities, and provides new insight into scams, tax fraud and credit card fraud perpetrated with stolen credit card numbers.”

Power Privacy members learn common misconceptions about anonymous web surfing, anonymous email, anonymous proxy, remailers and why privacy seekers can no longer rely on these technologies. Other new approaches are recommended. Innovative directions are given for setting up maildrops without fake ID, and for PayPal verification in any name. Likewise, the site details the #1 mistake people make that compromises their identity when setting up supposedly anonymous offshore holdings, and why complicated offshore privacy structures rarely assure complete privacy.

Subscribers to Power Privacy can access the site’s library of ‘how-to’ articles and reviews of privacy-related products and services, listen to interviews with privacy specialists, discuss issues with fellow privacy seekers and experts, as well as download relevant documents and special software.

Finally, a directory of trusted privacy-related product and service providers is a cornerstone of the site. “Thousands of companies will offer to set up offshore accounts, an investment or asset protection trust or other financial constructs for clients. But many of these providers are fraudulent,” said Winthrop. “Identifying the legitimate providers from the ones that take clients’ money and run is a large part of the value of our site, saving our subscribers thousands of dollars.”

Lifetime access to Power Privacy is $895 USD. Monthly access is offered at $99 USD a month. Subscribers can select a 5 day trial for $10 USD.
