A little bad news...and is this legal?

[boarderman23]

I just got word from one of my affiliate managers (from PKR) that they are no longer able to send US checks due to the recent US laws. This was their only other payment method besides neteller, which was out of the question. I will be talking with her later, so hopefully there will be some other way to continue getting affiliate money.

The legal question I have is this: Can I legally get a PO Box from another country (Canada), as well as get a bank account from there, and have the money sent to there, while still being a US citizen? I would just have the money sent to me or just pick it up once in a while (I'm within a couple hours of Canada). If this is not legal, what would you suggest or what do you do? I am afraid that more poker rooms may start to encounter this problem and I would like an alternative.

PS - I've read the other topics similar to this and couldn't find an answer.

No one has any input at all??

Yes and yes....you have to travel to Canada to open the account.

There are plenty of companies in Canada that provide addresses and mail forwarding services.

Get the address first, then the account.
