Why would someone who just helped a fugitive evade the laws of a country the U.S. has an extradition treaty with feel comfortable remaining in Boston?

Interesting. Japan is famously reluctant to extradite its own citizens, but they did send two to the US last year, so I wonder if somebody pulled strings to get the favor repaid. Although these are only low-level chumps, not Ghosn himself. https://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=7d47070e-c949...
The operation sounds like it would have been unsuccessful without their help. Given they were arrested boarding a commercial flight in Boston, it seems they felt above reproach.
This arrest makes it less likely (though not impossible) such expertise will be able to be procured for such purposes in the future.

They obviously didn't? They were trying to fly from Boston to Beirut, Lebanon, where they would have been safe.
Which means they were, months after the incident, in Boston. That strikes me as remarkably stupid, or hubristic, or both.

Commenting on what he looked for in a wife, Bezos once said in an interview "The number one criterion was that I wanted a woman who could get me out of a Third World prison"
A country like Japan must have: 1. Dozens of private jets leaving it's airspace daily. 2. Hundreds of fishing boats leaving it territorial waters daily.
