Atlantis S.A. est une petite compagnie créée par Forinvent.
Dans un document adressé aux autorités britaniques les dirigeants de la Forinvent écrivent à propos d'Atlantis:
« In order to avoid the considerable margin of profits on specialities imported from the United States of America and sold by the South-American companies becoming locked up in the various countries in which these South-American companies are operating, Forinvent formed a small Panama company, Atlantis S.A., with a share-capital of $ 1'000.- and whose Board consists of three Swiss persons resident at Basle. In this way, and apart from certain fiscal advantages, the profits in question are at the free disposal of Forinvent through the intermediary of Atlantis, whilst, if they were allowed to accrue to the selling compagnies, they would be very difficult to realize owing to the clearing arrangements in force in the various South-American countries"
