Not as far as I can see.

The the article doesn’t say anything about people ‘wanting out’. It discusses the controversial practice of wealth buying citizenship.

This is the only reason given in the article:

> many of the millionaires and billionaires who want this kind of passport are trying to escape crimes" such as tax evasion and money laundering.

A golden visa doesn’t prevent extradition nor US tax filing or payment requirements (unless you’re renouncing US citizenship and paying your exit tax due).
So what? That’s what the article is about, not the narrative of “people wanting out”. You’ve added that.

If you want to write a piece about that, go right ahead. It’s just nothing to do with this article.
