Sorry this is for my own curiosity because I know nothing about US legal system, but I was watching this documentary recently about Bikram Choudhury, a yoga guru who was being prosecuted for several sex crimes and also had an arrest warrant issued against him. But in the documentary he successfully managed flee to Thailand then Mexico. They even managed to track him but he just said fuck off and that was that. Did not face any jail time and now he is back to conducting his Yoga sessions.
My point is what stopped Elizabeth Holmes from doing something like this? She surely knew what was coming her way and she is kinda unscrupulous too, so why didn't she run?
- ctchocula 5y agoMany countries have extradition treaties with the US. It's likely that due to how much more high-profile Theranos case has been, that the US would have expended more resources tracking her down compared to the yoga guru. Plus she would have had to spend the rest of her life on the run and find a country (e.g. Russia? Cuba? Venezuela?) to grant her asylum. No normal person would want to try either of the above, much less someone born with a silver spoon in their mouth.
