Pro tip: Always buy a round-trip ticket when you plan to flee fraud. It looks better in court and in newspapers, and nobody will force you to take the trip back.
pro-tip 2: don't fly. everything is recorded pro-tip 3: book flight before federal investigation
> Holmes’ partner, William Evans, also bought a one-way ticket “and did not return until approximately six weeks later, returning from a different continent,” prosecutors said. Did she buy the ticket herself or did someone book a trip and buy tickets for her/in her name? I don't support her but I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt. The one ticket sounds bad, but a series of tickets with eventual return do…
"willing to give her the benefit of the doubt" That was her business model wasn't it?

> Pro tip: Always buy a round-trip ticket when you plan to flee fraud. It looks better in court Another pro tip: round-trip tickets are often cheaper than one-way tickets, even if you don't plan to return! The "return" can be a long, long way in the future, too.

Which helps the story that it wasn’t an escape plan because they couldn’t be that stupid, could they?

You might be banned from flying that airline again if you don't get on the flight back without letting them know with a valid reason. Of course that's probably the least of your worries if you're fleeing your own country because of fraud.
sure, but once you're in mexico it's just a quick courtesy call to the airline to let them know you're an international fugitive from justice and won't be able to catch your return flight.
For the return leg, you check in online, download your boarding pass, and ignore it.
You "had a flat tyre on the way to the airport", or similar. In these situations, telling the truth doesn't help.

Wouldn't it be easier to charter a boat from Puerto Rico to Venezuela?
I am continually baffled just how utterly stupid these rich people are. Who in their right mind enters a flight manifest, let alone an international one, as a high profile wanted person.
Holmes' explanation: > [T]his was a reservation that was made before the verdict. The hope was that the verdict would be different and Ms. Holmes would be able to make this trip to attend the wedding of close friends in Mexico. Given the verdict, she does not plan to take the trip — and therefore did not provide notice, seek permission, or request access to her passport (which the government has) for the trip. But sh…
You might have some trouble getting out of the airport, but then again, running out of an emergency exit with pre-planned outside help, you'd probably be free and on the run for a while.
She could have bought the next day round trip ticket (which would still be stupid, but at least not as much). She could have flown to San Diego and drove over (and flew local airlines to some rural spot, preferably in a country with no extradition treaty). This is pretty ridiculous.
these people are not exactly criminal masterminds. same for the FTX guy
A woman, all women, absolutely ought to have the right to choose when and if they become pregnant. Even women who are charged with crimes. But if you’re her child 12 or so years from now, what is it going to look like that you were conceived under such circumstances?
What's the context here that I'm missing?
