You sue in US court and win. How do you collect the money?

[/ QUOTE ]

You either intercept money as it transits through the US using a variety of judgment enforcement mechanisms, or you attempt to domesticate your judgment in the foreign country/countries where the judgment debtor holds assets. It isn't impossible, but it isn't cheap either.

Intercept money as it goes through the US system - ok, I deposit money at AP using epassporte - how do you know about it? Or they mail me a check - and you want to grab it - how do you know about it, how do you get it? I don't think it's very practical to expect to nab money flowing through the US. As to enforcing a money judgment in the US in Costa Rica, or Germany, or where ever - I am totally ignorant and must take your word that it can be done.
