A Tax Notes Today article reports that the Assistant Attorney General for the
Tax Division, Kathy Keneally, has warned that amnesty for offshore account
evasion will not last forever…
What disturbs me about this article is that bone fide residents abroad appear not to be addressed.
@Eric:
Thanks for the research. It is best that this is the case to keep Messrs. Mazur and Stack from chasing after rape-children of American soldiers around the world.
Nazi Germany eased up on its marriage laws during WW II to keep children from being born illegitimate. A German inheritance attorney mentioned once that there were children born three and four years after their father was killed in the war who were declared his legitimate children by the German authorities. Nazi Germany also allowed for “Ferntrauung” (distance wedding) and “Leichentraunung” (corpse wedding) to ensure that children born had an legitimate father. The Wiki write-up:

@Polly:
There were grave misdeeds by both the Allies and the Soviets at the end of WWII. A famous rape victim was Helmut Kohl’s wife who was raped by Red Army soldiers at age 12 and then tossed out the window “like a sack of potatoes”:

And the problems don’t end with WWII. There is the whole issue of Amerasians GI kids that is an on-going issue. I knew someone who decided to write her undergraduate dissertation on it because she went to Vietnam on holiday and ran into all of these part-caucasian or part-black street children. This was within the last decade. Even when there was a real relationship, the U.S. military actually encouraged the fathers not to try to ever get in contact again with the mothers. As mixed race people, the Amerasians don’t fit into their own societies, where nationality generally comes by descent from the father. They have become a permanent underclass. I doubt many earn enough to pay U.S. tax or have enough for an FBAR.
@Innocente
Yeah- I heard that about his wife.
But atrocities aside- there were also many children born out of wedlock by german women who had consensual sex with GIs as well.
