    Great idea, Climate. It didn't even occur to me to deal with a lawyer that specializes in gambling (as opposed to a regular tax attorney). IMO this is definitely the way to go.

    This same game that he hit over 231K with (Tropical Island) on May 19th, another person hit over 555K way back on May 3rd!

    I would think an audit and investigation of the casino software is in order, just like a land based casino would do if jackpots were hit only 16 days apart.

    I just am happy to hear that you were able to hit that much on a slot machine w/ an offshore book ...CONGRATS..and if no one else has offered I will gladly deposit money into my acct minus the 40% ? for taxes and another 5-10% for me .... the number can be negotiated if you like...all seriousness a very mighty congrats to you ..btw I would leave between 20-50 g's in the acct and hope to turn that around and have the problem all over again

I was thinking of just saying that the money is from online poker winnings? In this current day, online poker is somewhat acceptable, however wagering on sports or playing in an online casino is considered criminal. Seriously, you could have a few neighbors selling meth/heroin/cocaine, or neighbors that don't work because of a bogus workman's comp injury, and they are seen as the typical american. However, you win cash online through an offshore casino, and you can be thrown to the wolves as some sort of money laundering terrorist. Wtf? And don't say i'm being a pussy...the feds are always chasing the money!

    do not tell them it is from offshore gaming. They will close your account. If they ask, tell them you sold a foreign investor a painting.

    Seriously, get an attorney, preferably a tax attorney. You can then have it wired to a trust, or an "attorney client trust account". This may be a golden opportunity to open an offshore account under an IBC. You will have to pay taxes, but if done right , you may be able to keep your name out of it, limit the tax hit, and get some asset/ liability protection as well.

    No, he's not.

    The OP claims he's paying tax lawyers $190/hr., and they're not able to tell him that he justs needs to declare it on his IRS Tax Statement?
