Sorry Ernst that is not how it works. The BVI does not have any large banks capable of dealing with funds anywhere close to that. The part the BVI plays in this shell game is the creations of empty secret shell corporations where the actual owners can never be traced. After opening a string of identity hiding corporations any funds or properties are put in the the names of those identity hiding corporations. The actual cash or assets of value never cross into the borders of the tiny BVI. The BVI makes their money by charging a fee to create and maintain each of those thousands of paper companies. Companies that never make anything or do anything other hide the identity of the true beneficiary of funds, stock, or real estate far away from the BVI.
The BVI does not offer the ability to guarantee or back any deposits in an actual BVI bank. No one with judgement would ever put any cash in an actual BVI bank.
In some simpler terms some of the physical paper work may be done in the BVI. In some cases a live person may travel to do paperwork real time to avoid the electronic trail and intermediaries. The real money travels electronically and there is certainly no place to put and keep real money on the BVI.
Sorry, this is not the way it works. What is in the suitcase is not bundles of $100 bills anymore, not more than it is gold nuggets. Those days are over. Your "real money" is just numbers in a file. And the file is in a shell company in Castro St.
And to move these numbers from a money laundering account in S America or a corruption tainted source in China etc, you don't send an email from your gmail account, and you don't use SWIFT. You go in person (or more likely send someone you really trust, like a cellist friend), and you make damned sure no US CISE agent sees your face or your passport.
