I'm not familiar with that particular program but investment visa schemes aren't uncommon in some of the world's more prosperous nations.I'm almost certain that Canada has (or at least *had*) one and I *am* certain that Australia has/had one.I think there is (or were) others as well.
Why in the world would an young and energetic person want to subject himself to our tax code and financial regulations. Once he is a “US Person” (either has a Green Card or is a citizen), he will have great trouble opening or even keeping a non-US banking or investment account. He will have to pay taxes on his worldwide income and have to fully report on all his assets that are not located in the US thanks to FACTA. Why do this when you can domesticate elsewhere and use Skype?
Personally, since BHO announced that illegal immigrants who commit minor crimes won’t be deported, I am seeking a way to live here illegally so I don’t have to pay any taxes.
The Phoenix COYOTES? Rather suggestive, eh?
