Re: US vs Overseas Banks



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

It's interesting to note that where I am (Mankato, Minnesota) I was able 
to open a checking account with NO ID what so ever.  I just wrote down a 
name and address (which is a P.O. box, BTW) and the next wee I had a box 
of checks (free) and a ATM card (also free).

Of course, this bank has been criticized for being somewhat lax on who 
they give accounts to, but the point still stands.  I could have been 
anybody, and give any false address.  *shrug*
