Does anyone know anything about this?
I got an email that appeared to come from pokershare promoting this.

www.affiliateprotectionengine.org

Looks like a new site? Scared of being scammed but interested in what there simple site says.

I have spoken several times with the CEO there and I have emailed him to get more comprehensive info on it as well........not quite sure how that whole thing could work. Either way you have to get your money into a U.S. bank account at some point to pay bills and such.

I see how it could protect your identity, but trying to hide money from the U.S. government in any fashion is usually not a wise decision.

I have seen services that allow you to receive debit cards from an overseas bank that don't even have your name on them and also have no withdrawal limits. I believe you can have up to $500,000 on them at a time.

They are supposed to be secure, insured and completely private. I believe they were from Switzerland or somewhere near there.

I'll have to look into it more.

I also agree with Jeremy that using some company like the Affiliate Protection Program could be considered highly illegal by our fantastic U.S. government, so not sure if this is the smartest way to go either. They'd probably charge you with money laundering or something. But I'm open to hear more from them.

Yeah, especially with all the suspension of civil liberties during our War on Terror, the government can ignore a lot of 4th Amendment protection against search and seizure, ignore your habeas corpus rights if you are a non-citizen, and probably torture you until you give up vital information about the whereabouts of Osama Bin Laden.

Who is backing them and why would Gibraltar be any more secure than the Caymans or Switzerland? I think PokerShare mentioned this place in their emails to people.
