Never seen this discussed but it getting it wrong is a felony.

from the form
[ QUOTE ]
Who Must File this Report
Each United States person, who has a
financial interest in or signature authority, or other authority over any
financial accounts, including bank, securities, or other types of
financial accounts in a foreign country, if the aggregate value of
these financial accounts exceeds $10,000 at any time during the
calendar year, must report that relationship each calendar year by
filing TD F 90-22.1 with the Department of the Treasury on or before
June 30, of the succeeding year.

Neteller qualifies by any definition imo.
The Neteller website tells us that they will completely cooperate with law enforcement (I assume customer privacy was a victim of their excursion to public equity markets).
I would like to see more Internet Magazine articles on tax issues from qualified professions.
I filed this form last year and will do so again this year, but I hate doing it because it feels like I am inviting them to knock on my door. I'd bet I am the only person in the history of the world to file it for a Neteller account.
