Exil in Anguilla: US CryptoWizard wandert aus-.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- Financial Crypto Konferenzen in Anguilla hat nummehr den nächsten logischen Schritt vollzogen & wegen der "depperten US Crypto Gesetzgebung" seine US/Staatsbürgerschaft zurückgelegt. -.-.- --.- -.-.- --.- -.-.- --.- By PETER WAYNER, wayner@nytimes.com ... In 1994, Cate [ http://www.offshore.com.ai/vince/ ] moved to Anguilla and helped bring Internet service to the tiny island. Last Sunday night, he went a step further and flew to Barbados, site of the nearest American consulate, to fill out the paperwork to renounce his U.S. citizenship. Cate, an encryption expert and one of the sponsors of an annual academic conference on financial cryptography in Anguilla [ http://fc98.ai/ ], said he made the decision because he's setting up a new company, Secure Accounts, that will design and build basic software to handle electronic transactions [ http://www.secureaccounts.com/ ]. ... After renouncing his citizenship, Cate said in an e-mail message that he wanted "to be free from the silly U.S. laws on crypto." ... Many American software companies, however, see themselves losing market share to foreign competitors who are able to create encryption products unhampered by U.S. laws. They argue that good cryptographic expertise is already well distributed around the world and that the laws only give foreign competitors an advantage. ... Recently, many leading software companies like Sun Microsystems and C2 Net have opened branches outside the United States, hiring foreign nationals to do the work. This has required a complicated dance to avoid breaking U.S. export laws like the ones that Cate is escaping. ... Cate's move also illuminates a bit of the international market for citizenship. Before renouncing his U.S. citizenship, Cate became a citizen of Mozambique for a fee of about $5,000. "This makes me an American-African," he joked. ... full text registrierungs/pflichtig: http://www.nytimes.com/library/tech/98/09/cyber/articles/06encrypt.html relayed by Miki San http://www.gis.at -.-.- --.- -.-.- --.- -.-.- --.- TIP Für tägliche Media/News (Print, TV, Net) mit AT & DE Bezug empfehlen wir, die oejc Liste zu sub/scribieren http://www.oejc.or.at/oejc/mailto/welcome.html -.-.- --.- -.-.- --.- -.-.- --.- --.-q/depesche taeglich ueber--.- internationale hacks--.-zensur im netz crypto--.-IT mergers--.-monopole & die universalitaet digitaler dummheit subscribe http://www.quintessenz.at -.-.- --.- -.-.- --.- -.-.- --.- - -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- edited by published on: 1998-09-08 comments to office@quintessenz.at subscribe Newsletter - -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.-
