I find it amazing that the man stole billions and did not have a get out of dodge plan- seriously, statistically, most people that pursue ongoing criminal activities get caught... sell drugs, and sooner or later, they will figure it out- part of the problem being that selling drugs, fencing stolen goods, running numbers, etc, all require the help of a group of criminals, and sooner or later the chain of loyalty breaks and then you get strangled with it... apparently, this guy had a hell of a lot of impunity to do what ever he liked, and yet apparently NEVER had a bailout plan? And lectured on how it was impossible to do JUST WHAT HE WAS DOING and not get caught... seems that while he may have been a "wizard of wallstreet" he did not really think it through, or had a self sabotage complex..... So If it was me, then I suppose all this leads me back to why I have never been part of a criminal enterprise, that being that it is simply too hard to not get caught before you can make enough money to skip town and live comfortably for the rest of ones life somewhere tropical.... so if I were for some reason stupid enough to get involved in some scheme that could send me to a very small room for a very long time, I would hope that I would at least be bright enough to have a LARGE contingency fund sitting somewhere offshore, and would of course run if that were the case.... hell, if guilty, I would probably still run, as it would be better than prison.... but if I were innocent it would depend on my honest belief in whether I would be found innocent or not.....
