Three questions
- How do you prove the money came from the right hand? PLEASE don't tell
me that you must get it vetted by a lawyer.
- If a tourist comes to England how can they pay for the hotel room?
VisaCard? or HSBC UK Visa Card? or 1st National Bank of Ouagadougou
Visa Card where the card was issued because someone was threatened with
being shot)
- What countries prevent money going into the wrong "hands"? For example
I am sure that some Libyans could state that it was wrong for the UK
Government to allow Gaddafi to give that money to the LSE. And lets not
talk about the US Tax Protesters who seem to believe giving money to
the Government is wrong

With regards to Switzerland, Jersey, Isle of Man and Caymans (and many
others) are also ideal for setting up some companies for example if a
Swede, an American, an Israeli and a Palestinian want to set up a company
but don't know and don't want to pay for a comparison of the positive and
negitives of eg
- UK law and tax law
- US law and tax law etc etc.
Then a neutral third party may be appropriate.
