I'm sure it was planned for a very long time and he had a two week head start. I would have already had a fake identity in place, started numerous shell companies all over the world, used the two weeks to get some plastic surgery (not too much, but enough to throw off facial recognition software), and spread the money to numerous banks in the Caribbean, Switzerland, and any other unscrupulous country that doesnt ask questions. First couple of years I wouldn't spend much at all while every person who finds people for a living is looking for you.

I work for a multi-national mega corp. We have former FBI, DEA, big city detectives, etc on our Corp security team. If this is a big company (must be) they will bring the full weight of their Corp to bear and find him and/or their money.

Yea, the biggest issue I'd guess is getting your money liquid, right? And how would you go about doing that, I have no clue?

But if you could pull that off, you go somewhere remote or like it's been said that hopefully doesn't have extradition laws. But to your point, you're going to have to hire a full security team for 24/7 protection as they will likely find you unless you're just super remote and low key with the money but if you are, then what's the point of stealing it in the first place...

First I'd run, then when they inevitably caught up with me I'd already have a scheme in place with their biggest competitor to steal another $100M from them. After they caught me I'd alert them to this fact and they would be forced to partner with me to take down the competitor's scheme. Although the entire time, the competitor knew this was coming, and had actually hired the world's most renowned thief to steal the original $100M + the new $100M from me before I could counter-scheme with the original employer. Little do they know that I knew the entire time and had my man watching their hired thief. In the end I walk with all of the loot.


this is the obvious answer.

Buy a new identity, purchase a 50-60 foot catamaran sailboat, and start sailing around the islands of the South Pacific and only carry a few thousand dollars on me so I only pay in cash. Learn to speak a foreign language that is off the radar. Stay off the grid for 10 years.

From the article it says they only noticed the money missing after the employee went missing 2 weeks ago. This means the employee could have made it anywhere (legally) before the screws got clamped down.

So I'd liquidate as much as I could and try to make it to Russia. Then I'd offer to pay the money back in exchange for dropping the charges (or extreme leniency on a prison sentence).

I'd then sign book deals and movie deals, and when that dries up I'd start up a financial security consulting firm that "helps" companies not have $100 million dollars stolen from them.

Use the money earned doing that on hookers and blow.


Interesting idea. invest the $100M. Conservative ROI of 15% means you just made $15M

Give money back after a year to relieve pressure on interpol to find you.

You're still a fugitive but not as desparately wanted as you once were and would certainly not have a corporate bounty on your head.

Bitcoin is the only way to transact business but those accounts can be hacked and your money is not that safe unless you carry physical bitcoins

The key point in the article seems to be them not figuring out about the money until he had been missing for a while.. This guys got a pretty big head start and considering he stole 100m, Im sure his plan had a pretty extensive exit strategy

The key would be to find a friend to hide out with you that no one can link you to. Then, you have that person buy a boat or house or whatever to hide out in. Its pretty simple after that, this is how every drug dealer does it. You have that person buy and register for everything that you need.

It really wouldn't be that hard to disappear with about $5 mil. You just have to be very careful and contact your family through mail by sending them stuff about 30-60 days after you've left somewhere so that most security camera footage has been deleted over.

Uruguay- buy a big ranch, raise cattle be land baron.

The problem with most non-extradition countries is they're so corrupt they'll probably just take your money and kill you.
