Let us know what country you decide to do business with after you pull your money out of usa. Not advised: uk, denmark, switzerland, australia.
If capital controls and asset freezes concern you, you should make sure you are working to elect representatives that share your values.

@tonyf , thanks for posting. This is a very good reminder, as I frequently travel to some unconventional places and doing something as innocent as a travel trip, could potentially be financially crippling. I'm curious how this situation gets resolved.
That's why even on the phone, I VPN home and VNC into the desktop. Not actually the reason, but that's what I do.
Just to be clear, I am not pointing fingers to IBKR here but merely stressing compliance and capital controls risks across the board.
How about not visiting Crimea after Putin grabbed it? That WNBA player should have stayed the eff out of Moscow too. And years ago the hikers that went to of all places Iran. A little common sense goes a long way in not needing panic rooms and oooh precious metals.
