Having a second passport can be a great tool for money laundering, opening bank accounts, offshore companies, etc... using other than your nationality of residence.
I have been making a little of research, and there are several countries that award with an economic citizenship for those who invest more than certain amount of money (300K at least) in real estate, for instance St Kitts and Nevis.
If you don't want to spend that load of money, there are other countries, like New Zealand or Latin American countries (i.e El Salvador) that award you with the full citizenship after only one or two years or residence. I am pretty sure it's also very easy to fake this "proof of residence" as there are very little ways of checking this type of information in a poor country like El Salvador.
Do you have any experience getting a second passport?
