“If FATCA’s sole purpose were to ‘recover’ tax revenues from assets squirreled away offshore by American ‘fat cats,’ it seems odd that it targets only individuals and specifically exempts reporting on accounts held by U.S. corporations. On the other hand, targeting individuals makes a lot of sense if FATCA’s purpose is directed towards something else: adding to U.S. government agencies’ global electronic ‘map’ of personal information. It should be further understood that any data transmitted by foreign financial institutions will not be confined to the IRS but will be handed over (‘upon request,’ of course) to other ‘three-letter’ agencies of the U.S. government.”
