If fleeing a country, what items would have good resale value?

Honestly I didn't get the joke because i didn't know anything about BRICS until just now

Stupid question. How do you then get cash for that wherever you end up? Do you need a bank account?

To add that secret compartments in your accessoirs.
My sling bag for example has 2 velcro pouches on each side of the band. You would think they are sewn shut but on closer expections they are actually vecroed.
Using it as a emergency storage for some coins. Helped me once already.

There are random bitcoin/crypto ATMs in some major cities.
So probably there. Dunno if they require an account.

I think I actually had a coat once with a hidden pocket like this that I didn't know about until I had it for quite some time! It wasn't big enough to hold a lot, but it was a very secret stash. Even some coats I have with inside pockets blend in very well, but those probably wouldn't pass someone searching me at a checkpoint of any kind.

I'm fairly sure these days most refugees at least go through some manner of process in the country they claim asylum in. You can't really exist off grid anymore

If you’re planning to leave with enough time, register a business or trust or something, transfer your money to a shell company, repeat as necessary then transfer it to the place you’re trying to go.

Use the tools of the people with money not the tools of people who get patted down for loose change by the tsa.

It's unclear. If they're a trans person fleeing the US, they could still pass the border normally for now.

My pouches are a sort of faux leather type of material. I couldn't fill it with anything bulky but I could certainly get a small stack of 200€ bills inside without being bulky.

I know some people who largely do exist off grid, but in any case, for asylum claims it's common to claim asylum after having already crossed the border of the target country without going through the checks. My friends who are asylum seekers have done that. I imagine in general you'd have less chance of being deported if you're already living in the country vs trying to cross the border.

AFAIK, in all anglosphere countries at least, the vast majority of asylum seekers are processed by border patrol shortly after entry, and they certainly would go through your belongings on the premise there was drugs or a nuke or something and find the gold bars.

US: The way to effectively do thos is to open a series of accounts, in a tree structure, in countries that aren't CRS compliant. Disperse the money into the structure. This will buy time, mitigating losses in the event of an asset freeze, likely not being caught until FACTA reporting to the IRS. Get the money out ASAP. There's better methods if laws don't matter.

I’m just kidding… listen to all the other smart people in this thread and not me.

Russia is trying to make business with poorer countries to prop up the falling ruble, etc. I don't think the dollar or the euro has anything to be afraid of in the near future.

Same as with everything else: you sell them to someone willing to buy

There are actually limits to what you can bring into/out of a country.

If you are fleeing from the US, get a bunch of guns. Gotta make money from illegal weapon sales overseas, just as the founders intended.

God Bless The 2nd Amendment

(Also, build a backyard nuke while you're at it, sell it to the Libyans)

Lol, not US Dollars. Not after November 5th, 2024.

Just go Euro

If you aren't trying to hide the money, just find an online exchange lile Coinbase or Kraken (they'll ask your real identity of course), then link to bank account, and voila!

Lolol Reddit mindset see "Crypto" they insta downvote.

Bte, there's always like 1-3 downvoters from bots, even if you make a totally non-political post like a picture of a cat. That's just how Lemmy is.
