While there is no doubt that money-launderers and tax evaders utilize tax havens, so do many legitimate, law abiding citizens and corporations. Exxon, Sears, Firestone, Boeing, Chase Manhattan, Citibank, Bank of America and hundreds of other firms and banks all actively bank offshore.

anyway, what do i care.
edit: i thought that the "it's illegal!" comments were a bit strange...
just read labret's post... i guess it isn't illegal in the usa.
with that said, as long as you don't try to pull some wool-over-eyes shit, and have it done professionally/above board, you'll be fine.
here in the uk, it is pretty big business... all the major banks have their shit together.

as far as your situation goes...
whatever the laws say, there is nothing to stop you researching/reading about it or asking your bank advisor or accountant about it, which you will no doubt do if you're earning a tidy sum.
really... gfy is useful for a few resource links now and again, but that's about it.
