Peter Thiel's move to Argentina reflects a growing trend among billionaires seeking a 'plan B' abroad

Peter Thiel appears to have found a new bug-out spot. He isn't alone in looking beyond America's shores.

The PayPal and Palantir cofounder and prominent libertarian has been spending more time in Argentina, The New York Times reported, where he has enrolled his children in school and bought a home in one of Buenos Aires' wealthiest neighborhoods.

Among the ultrawealthy, that fits a larger pattern. The rich are treating their lives in America like part of an investment portfolio: still worth betting on, but increasingly in need of a hedge.

"There's a clear trend toward sovereign diversification," Charlie Garcia, founder of centimillionaire membership club R360, said, including "multiple passports, multiple tax regimes, and at least one 'Plan B' jurisdiction in the Southern Hemisphere."

Argentina, a country with a history of debt default. Good riddance to Thiel.

all we have to do is keep them from getting out.

and to those “gated communities”…a few chains and changing the signage from “Meadowbrook Estates” to “Meadowbrook Detention Center” suits me just fine.

Can he still be brought up charges here? No extradition, but, if found guilty... can, if be found, his accounts/money be frozen, confiscated?

These assholes sold out our country because they didn't want to pay taxes on the billions they stole from us. They all should be doing hard time.
