Step 1. Don't hide out in your own country. Someone with a hundred million bucks could easily fund safe passage (ie: get themselves smuggled in) to another country.
Step 2. Get some very convincing falsified documentation under an alias. Again, more money = more options.
Step 3. Don't draw attention to yourself in your new country of residence. Outward appearances should be as bland as wallpaper paste, as interesting as the Toyota Camry.
Step 4. Put all the money into Bitcoin, use BTC ATMs when you need cash.
Realistically, the only reason any of us have any government visibility is because we generate income and pay taxes, own assets, hold bank accounts, etc. We have SIN numbers, driver's licenses, etc.
Pulling this off in a developed nation would be a real challenge. You'd have to rent housing from private individuals (provided there are no credit checks), you could never buy a house or a car (no buying large assets in full as cash transactions over $10K get flagged, no lease or finance since they require credit histories).
All the reasons to have $100m in a developed nation are non-starters because most of these things require that you have some form of documentation and registration. Ideally, you'd move to some tropical third-world country where that you could live on a beach and not have to give a crap about anything except paying off whoever needed paying off.
... why is everyone looking at me like that? I'm sitting in the airport lounge at Pearson, I figured it would be fun to think about it.

I supervised a woman that had embezzeled about 500,000 from her employer.
She got a deuce less a day, the longest provincial sentence allowed so in truth a year and a half with good behaviour, her excuse was she and her boyfriend got into coke and blew it all up their noses so there was nothing left to repay and no paper trail to prove any of it.
It occurred to me it was the perfect crime, I'd do a year or two in provincial for half a million, you'd do great in treatment because you never had a coke problem in the first place, just keep the money in a bank box somewhere, keep a low profile and then move to another province after your probation ended!

The thing is with that plan, is you wouldn't get to enjoy the $100mm. I could probably live in a tropical third world country and drive a Camry with my own savings and not worry about Interpol and paying people off.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.

I'd rather die in prison than drive a Camry!

Oh this only gets better.... This guy was their Ethics Officer....
Quote:
Swiss engineering group ABB (ABBN.S) on Wednesday said it fell victim to a "sophisticated criminal scheme" at its South Korean subsidiary, with the chief suspect an executive responsible for ethics training.
The executive, named by a source in South Korea as Oh Myeong-se, was treasurer and one of two integrity ombudsmen for ABB Korea - to whom staff were supposed to report any ethical concerns - according to an online company magazine available on ABB's Korean website.
He was also the head of compliance at ABB in Korea until 2010, said a source familiar with the investigation, a role that carries responsibility for maintaining legal and ethical integrity.
