Dear John, etc.

Thank you for your inquiry.

Yes, I want to write about the two best possibilities for the cryonics trust
at the current state of our knowledge.  Or my knowledge, anyway.  

First, I refer everyone to the last "Cryonics" magazine, (hard copy, not web
based) and the excellent article by Bill Falloon re: the trust he and Saul
Kent have in place.  I am in process of trying to reach them about about
different possibilities of funding and using the trust they already have in
place.  

I am especially interested if one can have this trust as a partial beneficary
on a life insurance policy.

On a completely alternate track, the rest of this posting deals with the
"Passport Financial Protective Trust"

Let me share with you what I am continuing to check out as a "Cryonics and
Wealth Protection Trust."  There is an offshore trust/ corporation package
available from Terry Coxen and his associates.  It costs $145 bucks to get the
actual trust application and package, which I have in my hands as I am writing
this.

It costs ZERO to check out their web site, but I ordered the physical trust
application documents to review.  (There is a no risk refund offer, but I have
kept the package because it is exactly what the promo and website promised.)

The package is professionally produced, and shows the reasons that many people
have "offshore trusts."  This particular one is based in Bermuda.  It takes
1250 dollars  to set up, and can be funded with as little as $5000 initially,
with the hopes that this amount will grow to $50,000 in a reasonable period of
time.

Rather than doing anything less than a thorough job of explaining what this
trust allegedly can do for you, I think the best thing is for people to go
their website and view the possibilities for themselves.  

Here it is:

www.PassportTrust.com

Their toll free number is 1-800-531-5142.  When I called to order the trust
kit some time ago I spoke with a very knowledgeable and helpful gentlemen by
the name of John Chandler.  

Mr. Chandler and I spoke at some length regarding the concept of a cryonics
trust, and how this "passport trust" may be serviceable as a vehicle for
funding reanimation and/ or being much wealthier upon reanimation.

Although Mr. Chandler was not initially aware of the cryonics option, he was
very interested in the concept.  He was also rather encouraging regarding how
this offshore trust could be used for the purpose of accumulating and
protecting wealth from government confiscation, both before and after "death."

He is going to bring this up to Terry Coxen, whose book, "Keep What You Earn"
is included in the package.  Terry is a bright guy...I am still reading his
book.  He has also aligned himself with some other luminaries in the field of
investments, newsletter writing and asset protection.

These "bigwigs" on the cover promotional for this trust package include
Doug Casey
Adrian Day
Harry Brown (Libertarian US presidential candidate 1996 and 2000...I voted for
him last time and I will vote for him again!)
John Pugsley

These gentlemen are serious, "non-flakey" business professionals, whose
careers I have been following through their writings for decades.  

Please do not confuse this offshore trust with the many "off the wall"
constitutional trusts, and "tax protesting patriot" trusts that I have seen
offered throughout the years that I have been searching.  These trusts, which
are based in "constitutional law, not statutory law" look like major lawsuit
and hassle attractors.  

There is enough controversy in cryonics and funding our future for ourselves
with a direct adversarial position against potential heirs to our cash and
life insurance proceeds.  Let us not add to this by having a trust document
that is less than solid and proven in multiple tax court rulings.

This offshore trust seems solid, with many of my questions asked and answered
in a straightforward Q and A in the promo literature and also on the website.

Now, the big question:  
Can this trust be set up and then later funded with life insurance?

This will allow people to fund their trusts with pennies on the dollar!  Just
like we can currently fund our cryonic suspension affordably with life
insurance for just pennies on the dollar.  (I own 1.15 plus million dollars of
life insurance on my life.  It is a combination of term and permanent
insurance that costs me less than 400 per month, for over a MILLION dollar tax
free estate!!)

I therefore encourage people to check this website out on their own.  Make
your own judgment, and get advice from your attorney, CPA, or dogcatcher. 

Perhaps we can have these twin dreams work:  A reanimation in a wide open
future with an enormous amount of money to enjoy the best the future holds!
