Are you an American citizen? Want to take your hard-earned savings
overseas, out of the reach of tax authorities, pesky ex-spouses, or
malpractice lawsuits? Just open an offshore account with The Firm of
Marc M. Harris. You can do it all by fax or the Internet, where
Harris solicits high rollers through his elaborate Web sites (www.marc-harris.com
and
www.escapeartist.com).
Or open your
account in person, and you'll be met at the Panama City airport by a
chauffeured Jaguar and swept downtown for a heady introduction to
the exotic world of offshore trusts, foundations, and second
passports from countries such as Argentina, which Harris will help
you obtain. |
| Excerpt: |
On Apr. 6, Harris filed a
$ 30 million libel lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Miami against
David Marchant, the publisher of
the Miami-based Offshore Alert
newsletter, who also does investigative research for clients. In the
complaint, Harris claims Marchant's
Mar. 31 article falsely stated that Harris' organization was an
insolvent Ponzi scheme and that some clients are unable to withdraw
their money. -- At least two international banks in Panama have
closed a number of Harris company bank accounts, say Panama banking
and legal sources. Harris confirms the accounts were closed, blaming
negative publicity. -- Harris is now flouting U.S. law that
prohibits U.S. citizens from making investments in Cuba: His Cuba
Web site offers Americans just that……..
Harris is dismissive of
newsletter editor Marchant. ''We
doubt Mr. Marchant's
journalistic credentials,'' he says.
Marchant says he can prove everything he reported. ''It
is common for people I expose to attack my credentials,'' says
Marchant, who brushes off the
lawsuit. ''Being savaged by Marc Harris is like being savaged by a
dead sheep.'' |
