What Can We Do To Prevent Kidnapping For Billionaires And Celebrities?

Just this month, Tushar Atre, a California-based tech executive, was fatally shot after he was abducted from his home. According to MSN, Atre, the founder and CEO of AtreNet Inc, was kidnapped during a crime that took place at his home on October 1st. The police previously suspected that the motive was robbery, although there have been no updates on the case since.

Unfortunately, billionaires and celebrities are always at risk for kidnappings. Their family members are also frequent targets used for criminals to get ransom money. Here’s how we can prevent these kidnappings. We highly recommend to our clients to have kidnapping and ransom insurance especially if they travel to high kidnapping countries.

To All Chinese Billionaires – Protecting Your Privacy When Traveling in the US

November 21, 2019/0 Comments/in Blog /by 001

Protecting your privacy is a necessary task when you are traveling in the US. Chinese billionaires may hire a security firm to guard them while they are on business. However, these bodyguards don’t have the knowledge or the skills to protect their client’s privacy.

Why Does Your Privacy Need to be Protected?

As a Chinese Billionaire, you may be at risk when traveling in the US. Letting the public know where you are at all times may be a bad idea. Consider someone who normally wouldn’t bother going through the effort of tracking you down. If you happen to post your whereabouts online, you can trigger their desire to come and pay you a visit.

Also, your private communications should stay private. Whether you are texting with a colleague or your wife, it’s important that all of your communications stay away from prying eyes. After all, you don’t want a business deal to go south because emails were leaked.

Executive Protection for Crazy Rich Asians When Traveling

When it comes to protecting a Chinese billionaire, protection agents are often tasked with also protecting their family members. Young people, such as the billionaire’s children have a naiveness and enjoy flaunting their wealth. What many clients don’t realize is that it’s often necessary to have protection agents with their children, especially when they are in a new country.

The Threats to Crazy Rich Asians

Billionaires typically travel with their families and make it somewhat of a vacation for them while they are here on business. The children, no matter what age they are, often see this as a time to let loose and party in America. However, the reality is that they are attached to a wealthy family and vulnerable, especially in a space they’ve never been to. Here are just a few of the risks that many clients don’t understand.

Building Trust with a Chinese Billionaire to Protect Him

September 13, 2019/0 Comments/in Blog /by 001

When we at WPG protect our clients, we first built trust. This is true, especially for those from another country. There will always be cultural differences and trust issues. Right now, the US is in a trade war with China, so there’s already a lack of trust that Chinese billionaires have when visiting the states.

Trust doesn’t always come easy. It builds over a while if done right. When we start interacting and working with high-net-worth individuals from China, building trust is the most critical part of our initial stages of protection. They have to trust us, and everything that we’re doing is for their best interest in protecting their privacy, confidentiality, and of course, their physical wellbeing.

Let’s face it; some foreign countries and the residents don’t like Americans. We are known for being arrogant and ignorant when it comes to other cultures. We don’t let that reputation reflect how we protect our Chinese clients. Read more

Selecting an Executive Protection Company is Like Choosing the Best Brain Surgery Doctor

August 29, 2019/0 Comments/in Blog /by 001

When it comes to executive protection, everyone thinks they are an expert. From clients to those that they are with, we are constantly bombarded with requests that, if taken, would undermine our ability to protect our clients effectively. When it comes to executive protection, think of your expert like you would a brain surgeon.

They Know How to Protect the Client. Trust Them

When it comes to your health, you would never tell a brain surgeon how to operate on you. The same should be true when it comes to your safety. Most client representatives have no training in protection, but still, try to tell us where to go and what to do. Unfortunately, that compromises their safety and could put them in a similar situation they’d be in if we weren’t there altogether. Make sure always to respect your protection expert’s authority and knowledge. They are there to keep you safe, much like how your brain surgeon is there to keep you alive. You must develop trust in allowing them to freely operate and make the best decisions for the client’s protection.

You never want to put your loved ones in a dangerous situation that should have been avoided.
