I would think that fleeing the country only makes sense if one is long trying to hide, and is looking to live openly as a fugitive in a country that won’t extradite you to the U.S. — like Roman Polanski or Edward Snowden, for example.

Crossing a border increases your odds of coming under the scrutiny of government officials exponentially. Living in “plain sight” right here in the U.S. — as either a homeless vagrant or under a fake identity — is probably your best bet.

Sorry — that first sentence should say “isn’t trying to hide.”

If you have funding and marketable skills, you only need to cross once into a nonextradition country especially a corrupt one where with funding you can buy a new identity and move on with life either there or in a third country under that new identity. Stay out of places that finger print scan for ID which is most of the EU but Latin America, Asia, Africa is wide open for those with say a new identity from Russia or Ukraine if you are a white guy. It’s not hard to buy papers in Russia heck it’s not hard to buy papers here in the USA millions of illegals have them and use them everyday.

Generally the case, but not here, with his picture known to probably 75% of Americans. But I’m talking in hindsight as there’s no way to be sure just how much ‘publicity’ he was going to have, until it happened.
