    Why would that strike you as unlikely? It’s extremely likely because most countries that people would want to flee to already have extradition agreements with the US.

    All the US has to do is declare you a fugitive and those countries will pick you up and ship you back.

    Especially with how petty this administration has been.

      It’s usually too expensive to justify pursuing international cases, nevertheless don’t fuck with the IRS lol. That being said, people moving abroad to escape debt, such as student loans is not altogether uncommon.

        As things stand now yeah I agree with you. However I think if more people were to start leaving the US to escape things here they would clamp down.
