Clearly you've never heard of FATCA. Basically the US government got many countries to sign an agreement that requires all financial organizations in the country to pay special attention to US citizens and snitch on them (or pay fines otherwise). There was some minor outcry after the fact because it forces foreign banks to spend extra resources to keep the system running. Guess who they pass the costs on to in most cases.

Clearly I've never heard of it, yes, because I'm asking a question. I'm not a US citizen.
