Have fun being on the run the rest of your life. Sure, some countries don't have extradition to the US, but politics change. Not to mention some of those countries would not hesitate to blackmail you once they know who you are and how much money you have. I can't imagine growing old and never having remorse for a scam like this.

Here's the rub: if we go after this guy, our tax dollars will pay for the pursuit, pay for his extradition, detainment, prosecution and jail time. When people ask "why are my stupid investments your problem," this is why. Unless you're willing to pay a private investigator to hunt down your scammer, you're shifting your burdens on the public.

  When he's caught the fine he'll get will payoff the investigation and more

    > When he's caught the fine he'll get will payoff the investigation and more If he: (1) Is caught; and (2) Has not spent/lost it already. Carrying the burden of those risks? Us, the public.

      There will be a larger public burden over time if cases like this go ignored. Setting an example is an effective means of prevention.

  I think it's worth catching him just for the principle of the matter. Catching him shows that it's not okay to steal money from people by faking an ICO.

    > it's worth catching him just for the principle of the matter Pardon me, I did not mean to imply we shouldn't go after him. We should. Just wanted to remind us that these scams cost the general public money. Those costs are part of what securities regulations protect us from.

I would also be wary of simple citizens that lost a lot of money and look for you. I remember in 2014 people flew to Japan to confront MtGox in person. Making the scam in-your-face is a sure way to make people very angry and revengeful. The beach from the photograph can probably be located.

  Looks like someone had your same idea: https://cryptobriefing.com/find-yassin-hankir-exit-scam-savedroid/ https://cryptobriefing.com/find-yassin-hankir-exit-scam-save... Apparently he's at Movenpick Resort on the Red Sea in El Queseir. Not sure I'd trust my freedom to the Egyptian government, but my guess is scamming $50M and bragging about it isn't the first mistake he'll make.
