Hi everybody,
I live in the USA and I have a green card and french citizenship. Therefore, i'm a "US person" and I CANNOT open any brokerage account in France because nobody wants to bother with FATCA. Any website you go, they ask you if you are a US person and decline to register you.
What are the risks of hiding the fact that I'm a US person and proceed? I would lie to the bank in France but I would not lie to the USA as I would still report my account in my taxes and FBAR.
Thoughts?
