Oh btw if anyone is in preferably Asia and wants a US bank account you can open an account remotely with Standard International Bank in Puerto Rico.

They accept shell offshore companies (BVI etc) all day long and in fact only accept shell companies and not active trading companies. The purpose of shell offshore business account must be for personal offshore investment...lol.

The bank is used mostly by Asians to move money offshore and back and forth into offshore brokerage accounts. They have direct Fedwire access. But bank support is less then useless, international wires are slow but you can open an account quickly via their appstore mobile app for cheap monthly fee.

Look for the banks & EMIs licensed by the reserve bank of Vanuatu

Just thought I would mention these two banks in Puerto Rico that say they accept business and personal accounts. I don't know any more about them however. I just stumbled across them and thought its better to mention in Mentor Group than in public to give someone a chance here to try them out. Both are free to open and maintain on monthly basis for personal accounts also.
