First of all, before we get to all that, tax evading is stupid. Don't do it. You'll get caught, just like this guy. He was busted for running a "Warehouse Bank," in which he pooled $28 million from "depositors" into several accounts with Bank of America, U.S. Bank and Wells Fargo Bank. From the AP:
An IRS investigator said Robert Arant had hundreds of customers, many of whom apparently used his bank, Olympic Business Systems LLC, to conceal assets for the purpose of evading taxes.Arent charged $75 for this service, along with fees for setup and wire transfers. His customers could "buy" a debit card for $30. He plans to represent himself in court. As much as we know you all hate banks, they are a better idea than giving your money to a random guy with a website. The IRS will find you. Be honest! —MEGHANN MARCOOn his now-defunct Web site, Arant advertised his services to those "who would rather not deal directly with the banking system," court records said.
