> if your assets are frozen, chances are there's an arrest warrant for you and you have big issues. Not necessarily. A friend of mine had all his bank accounts frozen by mistake in a modern western country (a tax was listed as unpaid, even though it was paid; Generally, they just take what they believe they are owed, but for some reason they couldn't and didn't, so everything was frozen instead). Took him about a (very stressful) week to resolve. > There's a pretty hard limit to what you can do with briefcases of $100 bills. If you live frugally, a couple of briefcases like that can go an extremely long way. "Big issues" is right, of course. You might be a persona non-grata with the government, even though you've done nothing illegal. Governments everywhere already have too much power and they abuse it on a daily basis. This will make it easier for them. (That's the price). It will also make some law enforcement better and easier (That's the benefit). Is it worth it? I don't know, but the price seems to be completely ignored, which bothers me.
