      Can a US citizen set up a brokerage outside the U.S.? If so, where?

      I’m not talking about investing in foreign companies; I’m talking about where I can keep my money (other than “under the mattress”) that the federal government can’t seize/freeze.

        Swiss banhs used to do this, but not anymore. Cayman islands is said to do this but I don’t know details. Otherwise russia or north korea might help. nothing where you should trust your money to though.

        note that even though you might find a place to do this it is still illegal and it is generally not hard to follow money trails so you ard likely to be caught.

        Put it around a pretty woman’s neck.

        that the federal government can’t seize/freeze.

        Look for a decent country’s citizen. 😉
