yeah that could be interesting, it just requires trust which could be undermined with no recourse. there are also so many on-shore methods for US citizens that it is less worth it.
A non-US citizen could set up a corporation in a zero tax jurisdiction and allow partners to come in and keep diluting their share as long as it remains over 50% .... or a few other stipulations when it got over a certain number of members. but then adding additional property to this gets murky, and the non-US majority beneficiary has claims on the direction of all the property.
If you are functionally able to control it then then US courts will undermine it anyway and levy a big tax bill on you.
