So if someone expects to be put in a camp what's the best way to move thier savings?
I thought jewelery but I recall the jews had everything taken even teeth. I don't know much about American history but I know the Japanese were not treated well either during ww2. Pretty sure many lost all thier stuff.
Only thing I can't think of is bury some gold like in Russian doll.
I think you can assume that anything on your person will be taken. Funds and property with a clear paper trail may or may not be grabbed. There are various ways to keep money anonymously, like numbered bank accounts and cryptocurrencies, but they are not simple or without their problems.
If you have anyone you really trust, who is not likely to also end up in a camp, you might consider transferring everything to them. It would be difficult for the government to take anything that does not actually belong to you.
Ideally, I would consult with both a lawyer and a financial consultant.
Long term money goes offshore short term money stays liquid and if you have people you trust it with as things look to be getting worse you may decide to transfer it to them.
The main goal is to deny value without fucking yourself over. And in that vein if you have significant gold in this country get it out or if you must bury it do so without your phone or car
Now is the time to talk to a money person
buy an asset yeah Bitcoin or gold make your bet I guess.
