Default OFFSHORE 9% returns BS?

I am not sure what this company does, however all these claims seem un-realistic. Does anyone have any offshore banks recommendations where the bank offers decent rates?

It seems like BS. Banks make money by borrowing from you, then lending out at higher rates to make money on the "spread". If they are paying you 8-9%, how are they earning substantially more than that on a risk adjusted basis? And why pay 9%, when even 6% blows away all other bank money markets?
