Mr. Saverin is a free man, by virtue of his previous legal status in the USA (a naturalized USA citizen).
He chose to renounce his USA citizenship, and immigrate to Singapore. One assumes at this point that Singapore allowed him to legally enter their nation, and begin the process of citizenship there. End of story.
You seem to confuse Mr. Saverins actual actions, with the rather stupid rants of various (in)famous but generally useless entertainers, who often threaten to leave the USA over one political issue or the other, but never actually do so.
I admire Mr. Saverin, at this point. He seems to be a thoughtful man, making rational personal decisions. If he should ever change his mind and wish to return to the USA as a legal visitor or resident, I would welcome him back.
OTOH, I wish the USA had some sort of legal mechanism to forcibly deport Alec Baldwin, Barbara Streisand,The Dixie Chicks, and their ilk.
And yeah, that means I am fully on board with the whole “don't let the door hit your rear end as you leave, and BTW never come back” viewpoint for certain wannabe ex patriots.
