That's actually really comforting to hear. There are so many ways people can get burned in their lives by making small mistakes, innocent or not, and to see that they have some measure of protection from fallout is reassuring. That said, aren't offshore accounts technically tax evasions? Isn't that very behavior illegal?
Tax evasion, in the US, is officially tax fraud - as far as I know, you can't be charged with "evasion." So long as you don't falsify any documents (the definition of fraud), you aren't evading taxes, you're sheltering money. It's really easy to shelter money.
