"The vast majority of high-profile fugitives such as this guy are caught," Shank said. "It's either familiarity, lack of human contact or you miss going to the barista to get a coffee."
Shank oversees the hunt for more than 100,000 fugitives a year. Most are career criminals, the kind used to living dirty. But executive fugitives, he says, are a different breed. Shank says they're self-involved, convinced of their own importance — and unable to live without 5-star hotels, private planes and limos, which all require credit cards.
Yep. Stupid criminals. It's what the authorities bank on. - seth553, on 05/25/2009, -0/+7Congratulations on circumventing Digg's comment-prevention system. Mad skills.
I like to CONSIDER THE SOURCE of my "leftist" news. Who pays for NPR?
"About 2% of NPR's funding comes from bidding on government grants and programs, chiefly the Corporation for Public Broadcasting; the remainder comes from member station dues, foundation grants, and corporate underwriting. Typically, NPR member stations raise funds through on-air pledge drives, corporate underwriting, and grants from state governments, universities, and the CPB itself."

NPR is the news of the people. The bury is yours. - inactive, on 05/26/2009, -0/+1@Striker101
A story about an executive that steals millions from his clients, crashes a plane to fake his death, and hides out in a tent, should not come across as rational self-interest. He stole like any thug who would rob a convenience store, except on a far grander scale.
I hope you defend the thug that tries to mug you. He was only acting in rational self-interest.
Greed is good. - Striker101, on 05/25/2009, -8/+1Interesting how Digg allows this article to redirect to NPR. It would appear to be some attempt to prevent Digg comments. Wonder why, hmmmm.
I kinda think they don't want us to comment on tidbits like "Men like Schrenker are called "executive fugitives." They're leaders of industry and finance toppled by the economic crisis and, often, their own greed."
Well I am gonna comment anyway. "Greed"is not a dirty word. The leftists (=NPR and you-know-who) use it as a term to make rational self-interest seem immoral somehow. No need to say more, NPR. Henceforth you are an automatic bury.
