For Wall Street Villains: The Five Best Hideouts -- With No Extradition

"Bernard Madoff's Ponzi scheme cost 16,500 investors a total of as much as $18 billion, according to the court-appointed trustee, but at least Madoff is not on death row. In Hangzhou, China, in November, Ji Wenhua and his brother and their father (who were managers of the Yintai Real Estate and Investment Group) were sentenced to death after their convictions for cheating 15,000 investors out of the equivalent of $1.1 billion. Prosecutors said the men had continued to collect money by claiming profits while losses mounted." [China Money Report, 11-10-2011]

^ why don't these guys just take a fraction of their wealth and disappear? In any case, this article is old but cool in case anyone hasn't seen it. Some of it might be obvious, but I've been wondering recently and finally a friend sent me this.

For Wall Street Villains: The Five Best Hideouts -- With No Extradition

With the Goldman Sachs scandal playing out in the press and President Obama's recent Cooper Union speech still resonating through America's financial community, the word on The Street is that many of the country's less-principled financiers have recently found themselves daydreaming about getting a one-way ticket out of Dodge.

Luckily, the financial scofflaw with a truckload of money has several options at his or her disposal. Granted, traditional havens like Canada might be a little hesitant to adopt someone who helped bring down the world economy -- and in light of recent events in Greece, even France might be reluctant to open its doors.

但是，永远不要担心，数十个国家没有与美国签订引渡条约 - 迫切希望新游客。

Admittedly, most of the countries on the nonextradition list are communist, run by brutal theocracies, currently at war or lack a functional government. But with a little imagination, a walled Fortress and a steady supply of the local moonshine, intrepid on-the-lam travelers can handle it. What's more, with kinds of winters New York has frozen through lately, equatorial Africa is looking better and better.

Which leads us to DailyFinance's picks for the top five places to run to when the U.S. Senate decides that it wants to have a little talk.

Outdoorsman: With a per-capita GDP of over $17,000, Croatia occupies that sweet spot between places that are too poor to be safe and too expensive to be enjoyable. Your dollar will go a long way here, and with miles of beaches, remote castles, extensive caves and uninhabited islands, the formerly war-torn republic has endless options for your next home. While a little lacking in nightlife, Croatia's extensive diving, caving and hiking opportunities make it ideal for outdoorsmen, and its stable government and parliamentary republic promise that your property -- and life -- should be well protected by the rule of law.

《星际迷航》的爱好者：徒步旅行者比哈萨克斯坦更好的选择更好。这个中亚国家是世界第九大国，基本上是当您将数百年的蒙古遗产与石油和铀的收入相结合时，就会发生这种情况。地形选择范围从广泛的海岸线到坚固的峡谷，但哈萨克斯坦以草原特别闻名，这是一个庞大的，风吹的草原，可汗的后代喝了发酵奶的牛奶和练习khyz kuu，这是一项基本上涉及少女的传统运动马背。就城市而言，首都阿斯塔纳（Astana）将蒙古和克林贡文化之间的距离减半，令人叹为观止的建筑似乎从雷·布拉德伯里（Ray Bradbury）小说的封面上跳下来。哈萨克斯坦正式是总统共和国，实际上更像是一个仁慈的独裁政权，但法治很强大，很有可能您不会与地方当局有任何不愉快的跑步。

国际的ional Playboy: The Middle East isn't generally known for its rockin' night life, but Dubai has long since positioned itself as the Las Vegas of the Persian Gulf. With gorgeous buildings, a vibrant scene and a sprawling collection of private islands, the city is designed for people much like yourself: Wealthy, questionably moral, and uninterested in dealing with the filthy hoi polloi. If you're looking for something a little more sedate, try lesser-known Abu Dhabi. Located a short ride from the glitzy pleasures of Dubai, this gem is staid, beautiful and well-planned. Whichever way you go, the United Arab Emirates is a good deal right now -- property values tumbled during the downturn but are rising again, and the country's extensive infrastructure and commercial development guarantee you easy access to most of the pleasures of home.

Bond Villain: Most experts view Western Sahara as the world's longest-running failed nation, but we'd prefer to think of it as the world's most functional anarchy. While Morocco is ostensibly in charge of the place, the truth is the Western Sahara basically occupies 103,000 square miles of empty, unpoliced space positioned between Morocco, Mauritania and Algeria. Only 600 miles (as the crow flies) from Europe, it's a convenient staging ground for any dastardly plans you might want to cultivate. Granted, infrastructure is rare to nonexistent, but a few billion dollars should easily fix that, and the lack of state-level oversight means that you won't have to deal with zoning issues when building your secret hideout.

精神隐士：在相对晦涩难懂的一百多年之后，不丹仍然对国际旅游雷达并没有太大影响。但是，亚洲曾经是尼泊尔的一部分的亚洲“宪法民主君主制”可能是希望摆脱一切的压力银行家的理想选择。不丹位于喜马拉雅山的东端，提供许多家庭舒适感，包括手机网络，曼谷和新德里的每日航班以及互联网访问。不丹不在世界上较富裕的国家中，选择基于“国民幸福”来衡量其成功。除其他事项外，这意味着旅游业的发展受到严重限制，因此您的内部福祉感不太可能被高层酒店或骑雪地摩托游客嗡嗡作响所困扰！

Wherever you decide to go, happy hiding.
