@WarMonitor3 Can you really Blame them? They were born in a democratic country and now they live in a left wing dictatorship forcing policy on them which the British people explicitly voted against. - most politicians are spineless treasonous scumbags

@implausibleblog Wow!!! You are the problem. You scum bag
These police risked their lives.
I would love to see you carry out the same heroic behavior. Why should they risk their lives anymore than necessary.
Instead of watching an hour of Netflix, watch this 1 hour lecture on Bloomberg Terminal. It will teach you more about trading markets than a 2 month internship at Goldman Sachs or JPMorgan.
Just jumped off a call with a 23 y/o ecom couple (one from ๐ณ๐ฑ one from ๐ฆ๐ท). They are dominating - a $300k/mo brand selling into the UK and Australia. They're planning to relocate to Spain๐ช๐ธ and were about to make a HUGE mistake.
Here's the problem: they're about to walk straight into one of the riskiest tax regimes in the world. Forget the Beckham Law - you NEVER want to give the Spanish tax regime full visibility into your global assets. It's the classic golden handcuffs too good to be true tax setup. Like a venus fly trap. With $300k/mo flowing through a single Wyoming LLC sitting in fintech bank, and zero structural separation between their active ecom entity and their growing profits, they're basically handing the Spanish government a window into everything they've built. Big L.
They were also blocked from the US credit system because they didn't understand the playbook. Scaling a $300k/mo ecom brand on debit cards is crazy work.
So we're implementing all 3 Phantom Pillars to lock this down.
๐ First, we're spinning up a second US LLC to act as a pure holding company. The active ecom entity stays lean and operational, but excess profits get funneled out immediately. Lawsuits hit the operating entity, not the bag. Biz banking moves from Mercury to Slash, which is purpose-built for founders in exactly this situation. Never use Mercury. Thank me later.
๐ Next, we're setting up a Paraguay tax residency. One short trip, 2-3 months to receive the cedula. Zero personal tax on properly structured foreign income, no minimum physical presence required, and most importantly it satisfies KYC requirements to move to the real play:
A Panama Private Interest Foundation.
The notorious 3rd Phantom Pillar. This is the anonymous lockbox that unlocks a Swiss private banking account. Ownership registered only in Panama. Zero visibility from Spanish tax authorities. Their bulk profits sit there, compounding at 10% returns, completely shielded. And here's the part that changes how you think about wealth: they can take Lombard loans against 80% of their portfolio as collateral for major purchases, meaning liquidity without selling, without taxable events. Own nothing, control everything ๐ฅท
For day-to-day European expenses? A Revolut account funded directly from the US LLC. Simple, clean, no friction. The only thing they should be careful about is not spending more than 6 months in Spain so they can rely on their Paraguay Tax residency. But the honest truth is that even if they go over 6 months, Spain can't fuck with a Panama PIF ๐ฅ
โ Now that their tax and wealth picture is established cleanly - the credit stack. The Amex Global Transfer is blocked for now because of a messy address situation, so we're not forcing it. Instead we're waiting the 4 weeks for their ITIN to process, then remotely opening a Capital One personal checking account and credit card to start building their US credit profile properly. Once these statements generate, Amex GT opens up again.
๐ฅ In the meantime, fintech credit is the bridge. No personal guarantee required. Approved on biz health metrics: bank balance, revenue, Shopify performance, ROAS. At $300k/month they qualify comfortably for a $150k corporate credit line with 30-day interest-free terms. That's 30 days of ad spend floating for free while their US credit history (Amex, Capital one, chase, etc) builds in the background.
Once the ITIN clears and Capital One is live, the door opens to the full US premium card stack. Amex Business Gold at 4x points on ad spend, Chase Sapphire Reserve, the works. At their current volume that's millions of points per year, enough to never touch economy again.
The real win here though isn't the credit cards. It's that a 23-year-old couple gets to live freely in Europe, run a global business, and have their wealth sitting in Switzerland completely out of reach, legally, while everyone else relocating to Spain fumbles straight into a tax trap. Classic non-Phantom L.
Most people don't realize how fast the window closes once you establish residency in the wrong country with the wrong structure. Timing here was everything.
If ur relocating internationally and running a serious online business, the structure you set up in the first 90 days will define your tax exposure for years. Let's make sure you get it right.

@WarMonitor3 Would agree - but not under this current state of our spineless politicians.
They would just send money to the Argentinian and give away the Falklands
Two things have always pissed me off:
1. People charging absurd amounts of money for repackaged Volume Profile
2. People acting like this stuff is proprietary or they invented it.
So I made the course free.

@WarMonitor3 I'm X - Army, joined 2007 but wouldn't do it again. Hard to be patriotic about your homeland when it's being destroyed from the inside and there is no way to prevent it!!
