FATCA: "The Worst Law Nobody Has Ever Heard Of," Part I

``FATCA was inspired by the US government's "takedown" of the Swiss bank "UBS" and was supposed to enable the US government to recoup money it was losing to overseas tax havens. However, in addition to catching big fish living in the US who have actually hidden money offshore, by virtue of CBT (citizenship-based taxation) it has trawled in all "Americans" of every ilk who are just normal, middle-class folk living their lives in countries outside the United States.''
