I have been asked by several to provide counsel concerning the acquiring of a windfall of wealth. In the past, I would have focused on various instruments, laws, favorable jurisdictions, etc. Today it is different, my response to the latest well thought out request:
The fundamental issue with all assumptions of the current system is that there is absolutely no guarantee that any bank or any instrument will survive a major black swan event, no matter what their history would suggest. The Hunt brothers got a taste of that reality when they cornered the silver market. A law was passed to retroactively make what they had done illegal.
All banks are connected so no bank can be deemed to be totally safe.
Physical assets such as land, gold, and silver are the best means of preserving wealth in the coming chaos. No matter what jurisdiction you are in, even those assets can be taken away by the ones who have a badge, gun, and a prison. Lawfulness is optional to them.
All assumptions and conclusions based on past performance no longer apply in my belief. The U.S. wants another world war and if this comes to pass, there will be no safe jurisdiction. So, what are we to do?
I believe that it is imperative that we get the needed revelation from Above in how to maneuver during the coming events. Only then will we know what to do, where to go, and what means to operate from. That is the only solution I see at this point. Ten years ago while I was spending much time in Switzerland and other locales, I became aware of many paths as you have mentioned in your post. I now see weaknesses in all of them.
My focus and resources are now placed in attaining to a higher level of spiritual understanding. I believe there are mysteries to unlock that will answer all of your questions. However, they have not yet been revealed.
Those mysteries are part of the treasures stored in the Treasury of Heaven. They will only be distributed to further the Kingdom at the appointed time.
