In this episode, Austin and Cody explore Europe’s latest and most unconventional tax haven with Swen Lorenz. As a resident of Sark and an investor, Swen is joining forces with prominent hedge fund manager Harris Kupperman to purchase a significant portion of the island, transforming it into a tax haven and sanctuary from the chaos of the modern world. We delve into what makes Sark so unique, why Swen is fully committed to developing the island, and how you can get involved if you’re interested.
