I heard he lost 45 pounds while he was in the pen

how much was the bail?

Fat Tuesday.

Fuck that fat thief.

.

m. e. g. a. upload your shit today

Just a great day for that fat bastard, not internet freedom.

He can't run. If he does he'll be a fugitive and his days of living large (or living at any level other than off the grid) are over. If they found Bin Ladin in a house in Pakistan and Sadaam in a hole, they will have no problems finding this flamboyant German tub of shit.

He's probably fucked either way. He's fucked if he runs, probably fucked if he stays. Unless they really screwed up during his arrest and he walks on some technicality, he's done for. Best he can hope for is a fatal heart attack while he sleeps.

He'll just go to a country where they can't touch him.

I'm sure Julian Assange had the same idea. Everyone can see how that worked out for him. When they want you, they get you. One way or another.

The USA carries a big stick, and unless the guy is a passport carrying citizen of the country he is hiding in that doesn't have an extradition treaty with the USA (or other nations he would then be a fugitive of), he's screwed. Not that he couldn't buy his way into a citizenship somewhere, but it would be a long shot at this point, as he would already be a fugitive out of the gate. And even if he manages to pull it off, they will fuck him at the bank(s).

The world is not such an easy place to hide in anymore. The walls have been closing in for a while. In the digital age, every move you make is recorded in some manner. ATMs, phone calls, travel, email, chat, banking, you name it. Not easy to move around these days.

the us is trying to extradite him. it's going to take years as the extradition treaty doesn't exactly fit in this case.

eh who cares

Nice game of whack-a-mole they are playing :1orglaugh

:2 cents:

Sweet, so they made a way to make a deal with him after all

He's a German citizen and they don't honor extradition laws with the U.S. regarding their own citizens. If he can get there, he's home free. The problem is, he wants his $50 million.

he would need the hell of a costume to get through airport security...

if he was in Europe or so I would say he'd have a chance - but New Zealand? how do you get away from there? Maybe he can ask Sauron for asylum...

although:

it will be years before his case comes to trial...if hes even found guilty ..years of him free on appeal...still found guilty...years of extradition hearings...

he wont spend a day incarcerated in the United States of America.

if anything at end of day some bullshit house arrest with probation.

he's not going to run. he's a word famous celebrity now. even my dad knows who he is.

I'd say its pretty certain that he was forced to surrender his passport after he was arrested.

:2 cents:

private yacht...does spain extradite?

im glad he is out

So what are you saying? He's living on borrowed time before all his money is confiscated and maybe his freedom? Does that sound like a fun 'couple of years'?

US legal can fight for as many years as it takes and not care for one bit. But defending yourself for those same years is gonna be stressful and painful for any individual. Not fun times.

Would airport security apply to private charter?

it's a catchy tune isn't it.

I wouldn't be surprised if the guy has stacks of money cemented into his floors in his house and stashed away all over the world "just in case"

Which proves current laws are useless. They need to hit the source of the problem, the money suppliers.

Yes he kept them by his bad as late night reading and when the police were knocking on his door, he was able to think everything through. :upsidedow

lolll this guy will walk money talks it'll go away just like the online poker shit.

:1orglaugh:thumbsup

a torpedo ?;)

I'm sure he does, but going from 100 million and 25 million house to having 2 million and some luxury condo is still gonna sting.

He will walk... Theyve already mishandled investigation

:thumbsup

Does it matter what happens to him? They got what they wanted. They closed the site down, and it's not returning. Mission accomplished for them. Without even having a trial...
