How to avoid US treatment of cryptocurrency as an asset?

If a non-us company say UK company purchases bitcoin, is that then safe if you the director are US resident?

Not possible Uncle Sam will come after you regardless how you do.

@darkster Correct me if I'm wrong but trading with an offshore company where the US person is the director would have tax deferral benefits. It would be similar to trading stocks from a 401K where taxes are paid on the income derived from it, not on the capital gain of each trade.

I have similar question.

Delaware LLC with bank account in US.
Owner non US Resident
Nominee director US Resident
LLC sell Bitcoin on Kraken Exchange (Usa)
Kraken send Fiat from Is US bank account to LLC bank account.

Profit are taxed in the USA or not?
