Sure besides lots of physical and op-sec, your best bet is to insure yourself w/ payoff money that is liquid and untraceable. Failing all else, you could offer this to your kidnappers and hope that they are satisfied not to go to the trouble of having to involve other parties thus increasing their risk of incrimination. See my comment about "Casino" the movie...

In "Casino" Robert De Niro's character puts $2M in jewels in a safe-deposit box that even he doesn't have the key for (he naively gives the key to his wife- but that's another part of the plot) He narrates that the jewels are "in case he got in trouble". Ostensibly so he could pay off kidnappers.

winklevoss? Distributing keys doesn't prevent you from having a few "digits" (no pun intended) removed. "Oh you can't get them? Call the other key-holders. Better hope they like your fingers as much as you do."

@jcranmer agreed. US financial markets (breadth/depth) / US law influence over multi-jurisdicational banking entities, ensures that US law can/will be enforced by almost all players.

Should the authorities in a particular jurisdiction fail to enforce financial crimes, indicting a bank or sanctioning an individual in that region can effectively block all counter-parties from doing business with them (as they are now doing business with a sanctioned or indicted party).

It's hard to explain in laymens terms without sounding like some kind of "Illuminati-nut" (for lack of a better term) ):

And also requires a better understanding of interbank standards and practices, money/current-markets, SWIFT, etc.

Started seeing them doing 'eSports' drops occasionally now... gasp! (I thought their long-form "OJ" documentary was excellent!)

Assange and Ecuadorian ambassador (crawling under desk in office):

Assange: "Unplug it and plug it back in" Ambassador: "I did" Assange: "Are the lights blinking?" Ambassador: "Some of them..." Assange: "Which ones..." Ambassador: "Why am I doing this?" Assange: "Which lights?" Ambassador: "All of them..."

agreed.
