I "escaped" to Monaco before 9/11 even happened, so nobody cared or asked questions. Before 9/11 one could travel internationally with duffle bags full of cash and nobody would bat an eye. I was introduced to this guy:
Jerome Schneider - Wikipedia in the early 80s in a college elective course entitled "Principles of Financial and Managerial Accounting". The professor was a big fan of Jerome and his books and since I already developed a distaste for "taxes" from a young age due to having "known" Anton Smeets, the founder of CITCO (look him up; I,︀ and a few other European kids, mowed his lawn, took care of his pets, garden,︁ and washed his cars for extra income), I was drawn to Schneider's books like bees︂ to honey
😛
After the financial crisis and then later the FATCA, AML, KYC, AEOI, and︃ other BS and needing to come out of "retirement" because my clients couldn't get their︄ orders fulfilled correctly, I added Zug to my additional "safe place". Later, I became more︅ suspicious of the "controlled narrative" and went to create other backups for doomsday... (thankfully...this hasn't︆ materialized yet and also I'm not ready...I'm maybe 10 years away)
Also, not having social︇ media (in my own name) or engaging in ostentation of wealth and haute couture, I︈ have remained obscure and under the radar.
PS. My cue in the 90s was when︉ Schneider went on 20/20 in 1997. That was his final nail in the coffin! stupi#21
Note: When possible, always use "alternative" methods of ID. Schneider gave up ALL his "clients" who︊ bought his books and attended his seminars in a plea deal for a reduction of︋ sentence. One of my many "multiple personalities" purchased his books and attended his seminars. So,︌ luckily, by taking precautions, nobody ever knocked on my door 😳 Also, I NEVER EVER took︍ anyone else with me. 😉. It's like going to a brothel... you NEVER EVER want︎ to go there with someone who knows your GF or wife 😛
