Source: "Going Infinite" by Michael Lewis. Chapter 9.
> Gary never said when he would leave, or how he would leave—which was an
issue, as the Bahamas had taken his passport. On Sunday night, without a further word to
anyone, he just slipped, unnoticed, out of the Orchid penthouse. The lawyer who spirited
him off arranged with US authorities to supply him with a second passport, so that they
might smuggle him back to the United States before the government of the Bahamas
knew what had happened.
- JumpCrisscross 2y agoGoing to need a better source than Moneyball Lewis on this one. He is alleging massive breaches in diplomatic protocol with zero sourcing.
- bo1024 2y agoI believe Lewis was there at the time, so I think this is firsthand from him. Whether you believe him or not is up to you, of course.
- JumpCrisscross 2y ago> believe Lewis was there at the time Lewis was where? With the Bahamas authorities and the lawyer who got the passport and the U.S. authorities who provided it to them? And the supposed fugitive while he left? He makes a complex allegation that seems to have been strung together from observations, which I trust him to be relaying honestly, and suppositions given things he didn't see, e.g. that this wasn't coordinated with Nassau, which I'm sceptical of.
