The Lifeboat Strategy: Legally Protecting Wealth and Privacy in the 21st Century

In 2004, more than nine million Americans had their identity stolen and approximately 1.8 million were sued. Laws like the USA PATRIOT Act greatly expand warrantless searches and permit government property seizures without proof of wrongdoing. Banks and brokers must report any "suspicious transaction" by their customers to police. And with the stroke of a pen, the President may imprison U.S. citizens and confiscate their property. Big Business and Big Brother want to keep you and your wealth in plain sight, to be profita-bly tracked and conveniently seized. But you can still legally create international "lifeboats" of wealth and privacy that are practically invulnerable to snooping or confiscation. The Lifeboat Strategy documents today's unprecedented threats to wealth and privacy and reveals hundreds of completely legal strategies to deal with them. It focuses on creating domestic and international "lifeboats" of wealth and privacy to provide refuge in times of crisis.
