Residency, banking, and self-custody, run by a United States attorney who left the system he worked in. I watched three banks close in one day. I rebuilt so no single country can freeze my life. Twice a month I write down what works. Free.

Three banks closed in one day.

Westernbank. R-G Premier. Eurobank. I spent years inside the litigation that followed, across the table from families whose whole lives sat inside one system on the day it stopped working.

The spine · self-custody

Sovereignty is a set of keys.

Wealth you hold yourself, in assets no committee can freeze -- lawful, reported, and outside any single country's reach. That is the discipline this whole site teaches.

Christian M. Frank Fas, Esq.

Eighteen years inside the United States legal and banking system -- immigration law, bank litigation, commercial work. I left in 2021. Costa Rica is home; Puerto Rico and Panama hold the rest of the work. Everything published here was run on my own file first.
