That wouldn't really matter. Brazil does have an extradition treaty with the US, but regardless, even countries that don't have extradition treaties with the US would certainly arrest and extradite someone like Brian who is a murdered. Safety from extradition really only comes if you are politically persecuted or some sort of political value to the country you are in, like Russia with Edward Snowden or Cuba with Assata Shakur. |
Eh, I think there are enough areas in Mexico where he could law low. Or he's moved on to another country. Canada is a stretch both because of distance and entry requirements/challenges. Europe the same. At this point I am sure FBI has asked all its foreign partners to check if his passport has been used/registered. Same with the airlines. And living in Canada or Europe without leaving a digital trail would be very difficult. Money will get harder as time goes on, but start with a lot of cash from mom and dad and then work out a system. If his parents are funneling money to him then that could eventually be discovered, but I think you have to have something more than suspicion to start digging around in the parents' financials. |
| How much cash could the parents have had laying around on short notice? If they withdrew a lot of cash once Brian returned home the FBI would probably know about it. |
He is infamous in Brazil. |
Agree. They presumably didn’t know anything before the end of August and the FBI could easily track withdrawals made since then. |
They seem to own multiple juice shops and also recently emptied a storage locker. I’d say enough to get him far enough away. Many people keep pretty good savings accounts. |
| News story this evening saying FBI brought the dad out to look at a “fresh” campsite and have him point out trails he thinks Brian would use. |
I’m sure they are all being tracked. How to get the money out unnoticed? |
| Crypto? |
They would not extradite from Brazil if Brian risked the death penalty or more than 20 years in jail. They would inky extradite if an (binding) agreement was made to abide by those aspects. |
So what? Brazil and brazillians deal with much worse crimes daily. Plus, he would be really well there, especially if he decided to go to someplace other than Rio de Janeiro or Sao Paulo. |
I would do very well if I had to stay inside my home for weeks on end... Wait, I did just that last year! Internet, kindle, groceries delivered!! |
It turned out there wasn't a campsite. CNN reported the wrong thing earlier. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2021/10/07/us/gabby-petito-brian-laundrie-update-thursday/index.html |
We have @50k in cash, I assume others do as well |
