I almost wanna listen again. There was so much in there. My main takeaway, though I can't explain it well, was the sly moves made with these international clearing houses, which result in them being the effective owners of the asset (first claim), combined with them being minimally funded in case of emergency, which would trigger a taking.

I didn't look into the authors background. Do you know if he's all he says he is? Super successful and honest etc?
