2.0 out of 5 stars An Infomercial that YOU Have to Pay For, May 8, 2000

By 

M. Blackman (Vancouver, BC) - See all my reviews

This review is from: How to Own Your Own Private International Bank: For Profit, Privacy, and Tax Protection (Hardcover)

Like his other books, this offers some information, but is woefully shy on useable details except when it comes to the "Schneider Approach." For approximately $40,000 Jerome will set you up in little known jurisdiction like Vanuatu or Nauru in a bank that will cost you plenty. The question is, what can you do with it? For the vast majority of offshore investors, an offshore bank is very expensive and only useable for those who want to conduct actual global banking business. Translation - If you are an international banker with an experienced team, a correspondent bank and millions of $ behind you, a bank makes sense. For all others, it probably doesn't.

I have found many better books on the market for those who are looking to venture offshore.

1.0 out of 5 stars Infomercial, January 4, 1999

This review is from: How to Own Your Own Private International Bank: For Profit, Privacy, and Tax Protection (Hardcover)

I have reviewed another book by the same author. This book is in many respects similar to his other book: interesting concepts, but long on hype, questionable facts, and questionable tax advice -- short on implementation. I am definitely in favor of the concept of private bank ownership; this is simply not the book to buy to learn how to get one up and operating. The author leads you down the path to his consulting firm. Resist temptation; instead, ask your own accountant and attorney for a referral to those with a history of specializing in international taxation and commerce. They in turn will interface with the appropriate professional in the jurisdiction of choice.

4.0 out of 5 stars Up-to-date international banking information, July 24, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: How to Own Your Own Private International Bank: For Profit, Privacy, and Tax Protection (Hardcover)

Jerome has improved his writing style from his previous books on related topics. It is very much oriented towards bringing customers into his office for offshore services. However, the wealth of information, and its clarity, justify reading the book, and more than once. This author is certainly one of the best in the field, and his future books will be worth the wait.

Not everyone reading this book will become international bankers, but the inside look at offshore banking was a pleasure to read. Personally, it was intereting to read that not all international bankers are experts in global mutual funds, but their ability to be linked with professionally managed funds should put the "ah!" in anyone considering maximizing their returns.

Anyone seriously following Jerome's advise will most likely be learning more about South Pacific islands, i.e., Vanuatu, etc. And Vancouver, B.C., where Jerome is located.

The low initial cost of owning an internation! al bank should appeal to anyone with a net worth of around a quarter of a million dollars. If one has less than $100,000 one would be best advised to come back to this topic later, when their personal wealth building is further advanced.
