FATCA means that no "U.S. person" can have any access to the bank account; we are well and painfully aware of that, and it's not a problem.

Our U.S. connections are only due to the circumstantial fact that the OpenSSL team member (me) who initially set up our banking arrangements happened to be American. -Steve M. -- Steve Marquess OpenSSL Validation Services, Inc. 1829 Mount Ephraim Road Adamstown, MD 21710 USA +1 877 673 6775 s/b +1 301 874 2571 direct marquess at openssl.com gpg/pgp key: http://openssl.com/docs/0x6D1892F5.asc
