    What happened to JohnnyDoe?

    I don't think @daniels27 meant any harm. You are both, IMHO, very valuable contributions to this forum and long may it be so. And you also do it without belittling, harassing or outright mocking or threatening other users here, let alone seeking much of the dreaded ego-trips that sometimes...

    Looks like the corporate back rate lending CLOs imploding

    I for one would NEVER ever recommend anything Raoul (grift)Pal touches, ie, Real Vision (founder). A waste of time and money from the "going IRRESPONSIBLY long ETH @4k". Just saying. There are few but extremely good FREE accounts on Twitter that will provide you with more and better info than...

    @Martin Everson Much appreciated, thanks!

    UAE Foundation

    I'd like to add a point regarding UAE foundations, because the CIT some say it is imposed on them is not completely accurate. But instead of me ranting about it, I'll leave you a link of a good firm that works there and who are going to give you good legacy planning advice in the UAE...

    UAE Foundation

    @Martin Everson I thought Jersey was for trusts, not foundations? Would you mind giving some CSPs experts in foundations there, if you know any? Thanks.

    UAE Foundation

    ABSA Bank has Barclays' SWIFT codes in Seychelles, as they took over operations (BARSC is how it starts). All in all, if they grant you access, it is a reasonable enough bank (one of the largest in the south of Africa), so you should be covered with them. NVO

    Investor visa Abu Dhabi /UAE - Healh Insurance mandatory

    Though I could, I don't try to mix international with local insurance, just in case. I used (and still do) https://www.policybazaar.ae to check on prices and pay a bit above @JimBeam 's annually on the I-Med (from Orient) that he mentioned. There's also Takaful Emarat that offers cheap annual...

    Opening a U.S. Personal Bank Account from Abroad

    The US brand of East West bank (Luxembourg), which, if I remember correctly, has some Russian origin or ties. Have you successfully opened with them? What's (was) your experience? They seem to require a (potentially refundable) fee of $300, payable after a successful onboarding (not before).

    UAE Foundation

    Hi @bio , what you posted is correct, but the problem is finding a main-street banking solution for UAE foundations. Since they may engage in commercial activities, banks treat them as "commercial/corporate entities", but then when one tries to explain that they are not a corporation but a...

    Opinion on yield max ETF

    Like I use to say: "If you don't understand the yield, YOU ARE the yield". Anyway, I wish OP the best. But paying heed to @JohnnyDoe 's advice may save you one or two headaches.

    A must-watch documentary

    It's an old one, but for those interested, the birth and ascent of the EURDOLLAR MARKET (aka the real British Empire, the giant shadow banking financial leader of the world). Worth every minute of your time. I'm sure some (or the majority) of you have already watched it, but this is a good time...

    What are the actual benefits of an Emirates ID?

    1) I don't know what else to say. I talked first-hand experience and completely opposite to your case, or I wouldn't even have posted it. Maybe things have changed that much. Regarding renting etc, when I first got there I rented a place that was also offered to me for a quick sale at...
