62. ...hey, not so fast !

You guys are a hoot !

First, ya OP - congratulations for your new digs.

Second, just to remind you (and others if applicable), that if:
a) you are a U.S. citizen, and/or...
b) a "U.S. Person" (look it up), or...
c) have not renounced or relinquished (look it up) your U.S. citizenship...
- then you still remain subject to all the laws, regulations, requirements, etc., of the U.S. Treasury Department IRS, and the U.S. State Department.

For those of you who believe that by simply "moving out of" the United States automatically gifts you an escape from certain U.S. Government "obligations" then at some point in your future there will be a day of reckoning - or the "OMG Day".

>>. point is: due diligence >> look it up.
