your not correct.
you "can" set up offshore companies
you "can" set them up cheaply
you can't set everything up cheaply and not worry about going to prison and fully satisfy the IRS and current tax law at the same time. in fact, the IRS can challenge you just for the hell of it.. then what? those nominee directors/board members gonna step up and go to court for you?
there is so much criteria to meet about being fully insulated from the company and any indirect control over its management, revenue etc that its ridiculous. it can only be properly set up with a true international business doing international business, with competent tax professionals well versed in US and international tax law.
this shit changes dramatically every 6 months as internal revenue codes are updated.
its not a game for kids to play.
Call Deloitte and Touche or anyone else that actually does this shit for real businesses and tell them that you want to move everything offshore and structure things so you have no chance of going to prison and tell them you want to spend 460 Euros and see what they say.
bottom line....
You guys are talking to a scammer who has nothing to lose in a business that is completely unregulated, has no oversight and who is encouraging you to play with very serious international and federal laws, flirt with criminal penalties and telling you to step into the line of fire for a fee while he risks nothing.
