Abolish, Extract, or Escape: A Sovereign Strategist's Guide to the 2026-2028 Chaos Window
California's wealth tax ballot initiative targets a 5% tax on billionaires—taxing unrealized capital gains. That means you owe taxes on stock appreciation you haven't sold. The IRS may be abolished entirely—tariffs, sales taxes, VAT replacing income taxes. And Switzerland just froze Maduro's assets without trial or conviction—proving 700 years of "neutrality" ends when geopolitics demand it.
If neutral Switzerland seizes your wealth on political grounds, what does "rule of law" actually mean? If you can't trust Swiss banks to resist pressure, where can you trust?
David Lesperance—the premier sovereign and tax strategist who's navigated billionaires through every major jurisdiction crisis of the past three decades—breaks down what's actually coming and what you do about it.
What we're covering:
→ The mechanics of wealth extraction: how ballot initiatives, unrealized gains taxes, and exit tax traps actually work—and the 5-7 year pre-expatriation structure to minimize exposure
→ The FATCA/CRS asymmetry nobody explains: the US created a one-way global surveillance system where America sees everyone's wealth but nobody sees America's. How US banks are simultaneously the world's most transparent jurisdiction (for Americans) and the world's biggest tax haven (for foreign wealth)
→ Why Chinese billionaires and European industrialists are parking wealth IN the US while Americans flee—and why US dynasty trusts protected by history's most powerful military beat fake sovereignty elsewhere
→ Paraguay's $70K-$84K citizenship with territorial tax and NO CRS participation versus Monaco's zero tax rented from France versus Switzerland's stability under EU pressure. What's the actual calculation?
→ When "rule of law" becomes "rule of politics": Switzerland folded, Singapore would fold. The multi-jurisdiction, multi-asset-type playbook for when geopolitics override legal protections
→ The 2026-2028 chaos window: policy uncertainty, OECD global tax coordination, cascading state-level wealth taxes. Why this specific window matters more than previous cycles
If you're optimizing for tax rates instead of capital survival across centuries, you're solving the wrong problem.
