Off the top of my head Elizabeth Holmes comes to mind and Sunny Balwani must have been close. Epstein was also pretty close.

When I Google Billionaire arrested I get a flood of responses with names.

I would argue that at least individuals with 100 plus million have the similar capacity for flight AS billionaires. You could probably come up with an extensive list of US celebrities that have been arrested in this category

All in different jurisdictions, with wildly different circumstances, and little overlap in types of crimes and ability to flee, no?

Those are individual points, not statistically significant data. Which is my point.


To take a step back, what do you think SBFs chance of skipping bail is? If you were to wager, what percentage would you put it at?

Chance if he wanted to? Or chance of wanting to?

I frankly couldn’t even guess.

What was Ghosn’s of escaping house arrest?
