npr.org — "Executive fugitives" are leaders of industry and finance toppled by the economic crisis and, often, their own greed. Facing financial ruin and even worse; prison, they decide to make a run for it. But these days, officials say, life on the run isn't that easy, even with a suitcase full of cash.

Congratulations 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."<a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Public_Radio">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Public_Radio</a>NPR is the news of the people. The bury is yours.

@Striker101A 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.
