If it's enough money and he managed to get out of the country good for him I say. When the rest of your life looks like you're going to be some low tier middle class schmuck who works for the man long enough so that you can afford to put yourself in a care home and rot away your final years why put up with that? Take the cash, spend it lavishly and than go to some lame ass minimum security prison for a couple years and behave well so you can get out in 23 months.
