- RyanZAG 9y agoAgree - your life in a 3rd world country with $50 mil is going to be far better than in a 1st world country. I don't think that one was a good argument. The only good argument is that stealing from people is immoral.
- wbl 9y agoHe'll be extradited.
- KillerRabbitt 9y agoOnly if there's a country willing to prosecute and he's in a country with an extradition treaty.
- toomuchtodo 9y agoOr he ever transits a border crossing or airport and needs to use a passport.
- wbl 9y agoWhich countries would he be in without one? They may also prosecute locally if there are victims of his there.
- everdev 9y ago$50M can't buy you a clear conscience.

- sparkie 9y agoHe's not exactly robbing old ladies though. He scammed a bunch of idiots who willingly threw money at something they obviously had no understanding of. The warning signs for ICOs have been pretty clear for a some time now, but it seems like some people will only learn by first hand experience, how not to invest.
- everdev 9y agoActually, we don't know the identities of everyone who invested. I'm more hesitant to victim-blame than I am to blame the person who intentionally committed a crime. I agree that it's a buyer beware market, but it's because of people like this guy. The laws are on the books and hopefully will be enforced. Just because it's a new tech doesn't mean it's a lawless frontier even though some people are acting like it is.
- JumpCrisscross 9y ago> .. vs a luxury resort in a 2nd world offshore haven or a yacht Unless he wants a life of paranoia, he's limited to countries who don't extradite to the United States [1]. Since his face and name are known, as well as his wealth, he'll likely have to share a good fraction of his proceeds with local officials to stay alive.

- soundwave106 9y agoMinor point, Savedroid is based out of Germany, so I imagine it is more extradition to Germany that would be the concern. I imagine the net effect of the rest of your statement is the same though.
- zwily 9y agoIf any of the victims are on US soil, the US would have no problem going after him too.
- soundwave106 9y agoYes, true, if outright fraud, I agree this is the case. Actually this would probably apply to any country which has substantial numbers of people or currency involved in this scam, narrowing his "acceptable country" list further.
- citilife 9y agoHave you heard of Kim Dotcom[1]? New Zealand resident, with a service based out of Hong Kong, and the U.S. attempted (still attempting) to extradite him. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Dotcom https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Dotcom
- pcwalton 9y agoHe's now wanted by all countries that have citizens who invested in his scam. It is likely that this group consists of all major Western countries.
