In Brazil you can register your cpf (brazilian social security number) on the "Registrato", a Brazilian Central Bank system, and from that point on no new bank/payments account can be created on your name. You have to go to "Registrato" first and remove your name from it. It's amazing that the US doesn't have it. In Brazil you also can put your cpf on a list that forbids it from being added as an owner/partner on any company. I keep my cpf on both lists and sleep peacefully at night.
