Coupled with the sheer volume of it's offshore banking, here are the reasons, USA is number one on that list, based on certain indicators.
  • Banking secrecy
  • Details of trusts don't go on public record
  • It does not comply sufficiently with international regulatory requirements
  • No requirement for for company accounts to be public record
  • No requirement for beneficial ownership of companies to be on public record
  • It doesn't maintain company ownership details in official records
  • Doesn't participate in European Union Savings Tax Driective
  • Does not have adequate access to banking info
  • It allows company redomicilation
  • It allows protected cell companies

All of that and it is estimated that the USA loses some $100 billion a year to it.
