Maybe he was scared he was going to get arrested in the US?



Is it a good reason to stay in a country that has an extradition treaty with the US?


The only places safe from US are China, Russia, North Korea, Iran.

FTX had a lot of customers in Hong Kong. So where do you go?


Also, what does he offer any of those places. I guess he might be able to help NK with their crypto scams, but I'd prefer a US prison to even the better off in NK. Places don't just accept people running from the USG for shits and giggles, Russia accepted snowden to rub it in the US's face, not out of any belief he was a wronged hero.


North Korea might’ve welcomed another Blockchain advisor ever since Virgil Griffith’s imprisonment.
