Many countries are now keeping US citizens from having bank accounts.

You can read some American's who live abroad recent findings of the difficulties. They are Democrats.

The USA is putting up a wall, not only to stop immigrants but also to keep US citizens from leaving the USA.

You would find it very hard to live in another country without a bank account.
Those that replied may have lived in the countries they write of BEFORE FATCA/FBAR.
