Lately I saw many people I talked to in a chat having similar setup:
Let’s say an Australian person with a Australian company (doing ecom)
The company is owned by the trust.
The trust pays the guy.

Does Cook Islands Trust would protect your assets in the EU from seizure? I don't think so.
Tate's assets in the West were seized, and his Bugatti is still in Dubai.
His assets outside of the EU, UK, and US are probably fine sitting in the Cook Islands trusts.
