Clayton Morris Portugal exit !

Having just spent the last 5 days touring Portugal its apparent this move that Clayton and his wife made has yet again been to their benefit at the cost of their investors.

This is hardly any kind of hardship on them.. They probably got the Golden Visa where you only have to spend 500k on real estate to qualify and you get citizenship in addition you only have to spend 2 weeks a year in country. 

Also given the fact that its darn near impossible to get any kind of civil judgement executed and collected on in Portugal. 

It appears to me this was a well thought out move that will lead to the Morris's having a nice  life here in Portugal and all the investors left in his wake are for the most part very much out of luck or any hope of collecting on judgements. 

At this point with Whalen the fall guy for the criminal activity its my opinion that Clayton and wife while going through a great deal of drama and trauma being the focus of so much civil litigation and public assassination on social media   will just live out their lives here in this country hardly any kind of exile.. 

There are a huge amount of US ex pats here no need to really learn Portuguese etc etc. 

So bottom line they got away with it and are living in a beautiful safe clean country.

Hopefully those who still follow Mr. Clayton on SM and are still buying the real estate they promote will take note of all of this.
