Provision requires that foreign banks not only withhold 30% of all outgoing capital flows (likely remitting the collection promptly back to the US Treasury) but also disclose the full details of non-exempt account-holders to the US and the IRS.How does this work in practice when money is transferred with a key strokes? Banks and human managers generally send account information to the IRS.
This is the Chinese model, make it a law to report money changing. The Chinese government invests a lot in computer virus generation, the IRS will likely do the same to back up collection. Arnold Kling warned us about this.
I consider it the last grasp at salvation for an unsustainable funny money policy.
