Welcome to the show. I'm Jordan Harbinger.

Today on the show, journalist Atusa Abrahamian.
She grew up in Switzerland, had a front row seat to the international world of hidden art, money, and citizenship for sale. She grew up hearing about Nazi gold and looted Jewish wealth, among other blemishes on Switzerland's otherwise shiny reputation. On this episode, we'll discover how Switzerland, a landlocked country, somehow became one of the world's largest free. ports, how billionaires, dictators, and others hide art, cars, wine, and even artifacts from prying eyes of government and even spouses, and how you too can buy a passport and become an international global citizen if, of course, you have enough cash to lubricate the system. Here we go with Atusa Abrahamia.
