I believe the current way to hide money is to use bitcoins. Don't think Centrelink would pay us in them though.

I didn't bother reading the whole story but I saw a headline just recently saying something about a couple of banks in the USA getting together to create their own version of Bitcoin. The reason they are doing it? They don't trust Bitcoin which means they cannot control it. Disclaimer: I am not a big fan of Bitcoin.

You would be if you had bought them when they were about a dollar each....

Should read: they cannot control Bitcoin which means that they don't trust it.

Don't forget 2 things. 1. Up until a year or 2 ago The Philippines was one of the largest centres for secret bank accounts. They were the Asian Switzerland. 2. USA made a law that forces, and I do mean forces, banks internal and external to the USA to report the account balances outside the USA to the US IRA, or one of them. The Philippines were so frightened by the potential abandonment of them by the USA that they quickly came to heel and supplied the USA Government with the bank account number and balance of every single 'joe'. Australia and USA share ALL taxation information. If you want a bank account that will not be read by one of the '5 eyes', and others, then open an account with the Bank of China. Ok NFA I like it , but if it go's belly up consider yourself shopped

Yes, they will screw you if they get a chance and they will get a chance. Even applying for a visa for your girlfriend even if you just met her constitutes a a relationship. Never ever put yourself at risk. I believe it should you need to to dissolve your relationship legally and then just meet when and if you like on occasion, wink wink!

Well my pension hit the bank today, it's actually $40 higher than last month but that's due to the currency market. Win some, lose some.... Normal situation, they will stop payments and silently wait til you realize it and only restart after you contact, ask and then give them the details of the bank account.

OK, folks rule number one in banking, governments and keeping private your business. Never transfer any money to any account online or with paper trail. Use cash and as few personal details as possible. Even a credit card transfer to Western Union to a person or bank is traceable. Cash is your friend.

They use the American "kill them all, let God sort them out" philosophy of attack, the theory is that the bad guys will back off while the innocent will prevail through the appeals system. Those that just give up are a bonus.

Rule number 1 (A) : Just occasionally, transfer money for something very ordinary, to create a sense of normalcy to anyone examining your records. It's like throwing out flak.

You also have to have some sort of form, a random check is highly unlikely. Best not to have any enemies if you are up to anything, there's nothing they like better than a complaint from a "concerned citizen".
