Good luck finding a reputable bank in Asia or anyplace else that will not fill out mandatory reports that will be sent to the IRS. It's the price the IRS has demanded for the continuation of basic reciprocal banking agreements. Try to deposit some money overseas without Uncle Sam knowing, and you will find it's not very easy any more.

In the case I am referring to “bank” is a loose term and you do not actually deposit anything. More like secure storage. Ever been to Timor?
