True enough, but I thought clearing USD checks, money orders and wires was
fairly central to the strategy and that can be done offshore.
I would recommend Asia-Europe-Americas Bank of Seattle, WA (www.aeabank.com)
to any non-residents of USA who are seeking to open an account there. I
believe AEA maintain a correspondent account with Bank of America. Whether
this allows direct cash deposits I don't know, as I'm not familiar with the
domestic US credit transfer system. I believe it's possible through ACH??? I
find it's generally better to deal with small banks like this where you can
develop personal relationships with people who actually make an effort to
understand your business, rather than faceless big banks.
