Why didn't Bernie Madoff flee to a non-extradition country?

His sons turned him in hours after he confessed to them. One killed himself and the other died of cancer today, but I don't believe either was ever held criminally accountable. This still would be true had Bernie fled.

He could be living on a cruise ship sized yacht in Venezuela right now sipping on 50 year old French wine. Instead he's rotting away in a prison cell for the rest of his life.

He probably felt like he had been on the lam for decades - mentally exhausted.

you think the one kid committed suicide? Kind of a perfect setup for someone who was supposed to get some big money to take out one of the people that ruined it.

With the reach of his fund, i wouldnt be suprised if the people he defrauded spanned most of the world. Im not sure there was a place where he would have been welcome.

Except for Israel, which has a policy of harboring Jewish criminals no matter what their crime.

He's a huge POS and deserves to be behind bars.

I always assumed he fell on the sword for his sons. They certainly knew what was going on along with many others. If he goes missing then the sons are on the hook.

I'd like to think if I did something really bad and felt extremely guilty for it, I would rather confess and go to jail than live with the guilt of knowing about all the people whose lives I ruined. Considering who paid for that 50 year old bottle of wine, it would only taste good to someone with no conscience.

Someone would have had him taken out if he'd run.

They’d have killed him. And by they...I mean foreign investors whose money he lost.

People who commit major crimes need to think about detailed escape plans first.

Because the feds would go after his friends and family a lot harder than if did. And just because there is no extradition treaty doesn't mean that the country won't extradite him

Casa Blanca Morocco is the correct answer to where you move. Transfer your assets there to a bank a US international bank and then transfer them again into small Moroccan bank that does no international business.

If you want to get more slick setup a trust through the bank for name xxxxx have someone create a fake passport and fake moroccan documents. Grow a beard and move back to the US a few years later and you are golden. I've had to do this a few times. I now go by Braxton Bond.

How is he still alive is what I want to know? How did he even make it alive to the trial? fricking with somebody's retirement is a seek and kill type offense, I'd think.

But when FDR perpetrates the same fraud as Madoff, on a trillion+ dollar scale, it’s called the Social Security Administration and somehow he’s revered as one of the greatest presidents in history?

FDR’s socialist ponzi scheme will run out of money completely in 2034 and only be pay to 76% of normal benefits as early as 2024, according to the SSA, so FDR’s historical day of reckoning is coming.
