Description
xThere are thousands of financial resources for those with a 9-to-5 job and boxes of well-kept tax records. Although the US FBI estimates that a full 40% of the world's economy is "off the books", there just isn't an easy way to find an ask-no-questions accountant. Until now, those of us with unpopular, questionable, or outright illicit sources of income had no guide whatsoever. Fortunately the Black Hats of the world have already charted a clear path in this area out of their own necessity. Black Hat Banking is a guide for anyone that has a need to keep their income private, without sacrificing the security of their assets. Black Hat Banking is more than just a guide to offshore banking and asset protection. Here you'll discover the full breadth of the US and International financial surveillance network and learn how to avoid invasions of privacy and unwanted scrutiny. By utilizing the latest crypto-currencies and all manner of loopholes in the system, you too can secure your wealth as professional hackers do. Along with a complete explanation of how high-end hackers and organized crime operate, the author dispels misconceptions regarding large cash transactions and reporting requirements for banks, while establishing best practices for entrepreneurs concerned with their financial privacy. Reader beware: this is not a book that toes the line of political correctness, nor does it pay homage to the concept of American Exceptionalism. Black Hat Banking begins with the assumption that there are those of us that simply cannot trust traditional banking systems, especially those influenced by big government interest. With a more international worldview the author offers a map to safe offshore banking and simple asset protection techniques. Black Hat Banking is written by M. Blaine Faulkner, AKA CygonX, one of the world's most infamous cybercriminals. As the man was once an international fugitive on both INTERPOL's and the FBI's most wanted list, his writing reflects his personal experience with law enforcement and his ongoing asset protection techniques. This book destroys naive worldviews regarding benevolent governments with their citizen's best interest in mind; not a book for the American Middle Class. This book has a singular focus of financial privacy at all costs, with the Libertarian idea that anyone has the potential to be an international citizen, and the right to manage their own wealth free, of government regulation and manipulation. If you have a need to secure your finances outside of traditional banking systems, this book is for you.

xAbout Michael Faulkner Michael Blaine Faulkner began his professional career as an Electronic Engineer before his hobby of computer programming blossomed into a mid-sized eCommerce company. Faulkner migrated through the ownership and operation of dozens of start-up tech companies, with varying levels of success, while pursuing a more formal education in Business and Finance. His combined skills led to his eventual success in the aggressive growth industry of VOIP(Voice-over IP) telephony. Faulkner bought, sold, and created many telecom companies between 2004 and 2010, both in the US and abroad. Faulkner went on to found Crydon Capital Corporation, a private equity firm dedicated to funding VOIP ventures with an eye on challenging the legacy status-quo of the big phone companies. All the while, his board of directors, and the public at large, was unaware the the CEO of Crydon Capital, was also the infamous CygonX; a famous hacker, and noted network security professional. For years Faulkner had led the double life, while supporting one of the largest underground piracy networks online, and managing the famed Black Security Network; the favorite virtual watering hole for the Black Hat community. Ironically, it was not his Black Hat life, or connection to piracy that evoked the ire of the US Government. In 2009, Faulkner was at the center of The Great Data Center Raids that shocked the IT world, when FBI entry teams stormed Texas data centers, shut them down, and seized thousands of severs as "evidence." Unknown to Faulkner, and the US public until Snowden, AT&T and the FBI had an intimate relationship that Faulkner had inadvertently interrupted. It turns out that Faulkner's companies had converted so much of the US/Mexico long-distance traffic to VOIP over private networks, at a lower cost to consumers, that he had shown up as a bright spot on the government's radar. Through his connections in Mexico, Faulkner was terminating VOIP directly into their GSM network, by passing all the ways AT&T and Verizon could make money, while avoiding all the ways the FBI could obtain their now famous warrant less-wiretaps from legacy telecoms The combined forces of AT&T, Verizon, and the US Federal Government resulted in Faulkner's arrest and lengthy prison sentence. The US Government undoubtedly hoped Faulkner would never be heard from again, but alas the 1st Amendment is still alive and well. He's since published two books Asset Protection and Finance topics.
