offshore trust boundaries

[jamesbogosian]

would there be a limit to the amount of money that can be deposited in an offshore trust that a third party is managing for someone else? lets say it was easily 80 million dollars or more that were to be deposited? at this point would an offshore trust even be worth the trouble or not? what amount is the most that an offshore trust could hold assuming it was 80 million or more? would any of you guys happen to know?

As long as you discuss it with the trustee in advance, there shouldn't be any limits like that.

but lets say that depositing like 250 million dollars or more easily, how would this be different from depositing like 1 billion dollars or more in offshore bank accounts assuming that diversification took place then? why would someone tell me that with one or two billion usd id be better off storing such amounts in a few hotels or shopping centers then? 1 billion usd or more then why would they tell me that if someone who has that much money shouldnt even bother with depositing all of their money in offshore bank accounts around the world because it just wouldnt make any sense at that point then? even if diversification took place, then is what theyre saying remotely true or not? if you had one or two billions of dollars, what would you do with that money if not deposit all in offshore banks? would they be politically correct in making such a statement? if someone with that much money wanted to deposit all of it in offshore banking the world over, would this be a disaster waiting to happen? what do you think?
