Dear Maverick,
In a not-too-distant past, recall you’re at the restaurant during the COVID madness. Mask on to walk in, off the second you sit. Nervous laugh with the waiter about how idiotic it all feels. Or the airport — masked up like everyone else, watching the guy with a coffee sip his way through unmasked. The attendant barks, “Put your mask on, sir!” He calmly replies, “I’m fine — I’m drinking.”
Which one were you?
We’ve all got those moments of compliance we’re now embarrassed about. Small bends that felt harmless in the fog. History doesn’t repeat — it rhymes.
The drums are rhyming again. This time it’s not a flu; it’s building and preserving wealth. Those little moments of compliance — will you look back with regret?
Pre-COVID, unrealized capital gains taxes or seizing assets for “crimes” of wrongthink would have sparked riots. Across Europe — Sorry sir, your not allowed to make that transfer, it’s for your safety! Meanwhile, Australia and the UK treat speech as theft-worthy. The Netherlands eyes taxing paper gains. The crowd shrugs: “Hmm, okay.”
Can you see the link? Mask compliance tested the waters — now it’s tax and regulatory surrender. You recognize the macro trajectory. Are you genuinely trying to fit within the regulatory framework (aka compliance) while protecting and offshoring capital?
Overlay the bigger picture: Ray Dalio’s debt cycles grinding toward reset. Fourth Turning chaos accelerating. The Great Taking thesis showing how they’ll legally vacuum your securities.
Commodities and farmland have always survived — Spanish silver floods building empires, 1970s inflation shredding stocks, while ag land compounded quietly.
Zoom out: Trends in motion stay in motion. Note the trajectory, not the daily news. Creeping controls — not overnight grabs, but the slow boil: bank reporting every wire over $600, CBDC whispers for programmable money, “emergency” taxes on the rich (then everyone). History whispers: Argentina 2001 corralled deposits. Cyprus 2013 haircut. Greece 2015 ATM limits. Power seeks more power.
Remember your Maverick application? We asked: If COVID hit again, would you comply? Most said no — stronger next time. But rhythmically, this is the next time. Not masks. Banking compliance. Tax filings like surrender. Offshore structures, once “shady,” now essential before Plan B residency.
What makes a Maverick? Not theory. Practice. Mike Driver nailed it in “The Maverick Strain”: Conformists follow. Psychopaths exploit. Mavericks lead by exploring, creating, and defying when it counts. Nick Hudson unpacked it with Mike here.
Think of the lone man in the Hitler crowd — arm down while thousands salute. Or Tank Man facing tanks. Not suicidal. Principled. History favors those who build alternatives first.
We’ve all bent a little. Me included. But now? Protect capital offshore before those entrusted to safeguard it steal it away. Grow a pair, take calculated risks. Build solutions. Ask forgiveness later. The system’s begging for approval — one form at a time.

Offshoring Wealth Done Right — Chris & Lucas Video:
Since launching our real estate development, farmland, and oil & gas production projects in Argentina, here’s what over a thousand questions we’ve fielded about investing in Argentina have taught us:
There are a few key misconceptions people have about building wealth and how to use offshore structures to assist.
It’s not surprising, given the rise of online content relating to “offshoring”, “plan Bs” and residencies, etc., that are either misleading or straight up silly.
We just recorded a video cutting through all of it, specifically for those residing in high-tax countries.
We cover:
- The flaws of self-directed retirement accounts (yes – IRAs, SMSFs, SIPPs etc.)
- The difference between tax evasion (illegal) and tax deferral (legitimate)
- What family offices and institutions have done for decades that regular investors never get to understand
- The exact structure we use for our own capital in Argentina
This isn’t theory. We built this structure specifically for our private equity deals, which are live, after having been reviewed and rubber-stamped by international tax attorneys, including a former IRS prosecutor.
NOTE: This also isn’t advice! The information is for general educational purposes and is neither financial or legal advice.
