The Bank Account a U S Judge Can't Freeze

A U.S. judge can freeze most bank accounts with a one-page writ of garnishment served on your bank, not on you. In this video, The Business Guy from Lawyers Limited and Asset Protection Planners walks through the Three Jurisdiction Walls behind the bank account a judge can't freeze: the bank a court can't simply compel, ownership through a Cook Islands Trust, and the control separation that decides whether a repatriation order can reach you. You'll see what FTC v. Affordable Media teaches about retained control and the impossibility defense, two composite cases (a surgeon who left his name on the signature card and a real estate developer whose writs came back empty), why the account is fully disclosed on Forms 3520 and FBAR and still protected, what changes if you've already been sued (Cook Islands vs. Belize), and the two-question writ test you can run on your own accounts tonight.
Drawing on 35 years in asset protection and 30 years establishing Cook Islands Trusts — more than any firm in the world.
