Subject: EPSTEIN / Bank account in France In theory, yes, except that"tax" risk for him + "social charges" ris= for yourself. NB: Valdson has an AMERICAN EXPRE=S card in his name linked to account in the US (with no code). =y suggestion: • BNP account maintained for aut=matic payments for utility bills (so long as it works!), • use by Valdson of current AMERICAN EXPRESS card for payment in shops in France, • new credit card + new AMERICA= EXPRESS card with code, linked to account in the US for cash withdrawal in France (as he had a few years ago), • on exceptionnal basis: I can make some "advances"=through my own personal bank account in France (so long as I get reim=ursed of excatly same amount: debit first + credit to compen=ate in case of control) as done early May for payment of the social s=curity charges. Need a few more days to make further contacts to find a better solution!</=> Best regards.
