As the article notes, US and Mex have bilateral extradition so it’s doubtful she intended to stay there to escape prison. She was likely going on to another country after that.

#112As the article notes, US and Mex have bilateral extradition so it’s doubtful she intended to stay there to escape prison. She was likely going on to another country after that.
The article further notes:
>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.

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.

Not sure what this has to do with what we are discussing? Even otherwise, as the article says the court dismissed the case.
It's pretty clear that LH is not going to ferry this passenger without further payment.

Maybe it's just a distraction for the real plan: off to Hong Kong on a cargo ship, through to Mexico in a car trunk, or simply living with an assumed identity after major plastic surgery.
A decoy could take the trip to Mexico for you...

#116A 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?
If the children/descendants of other sociopaths like Alexander Dugan, Mussolini, and Jordan Peterson are any clue, they will think it is clever and be grifters just like their ancestors.
The third person that came to your mind alongside Alexander Dugin and Mussolini was a Canadian professor and his fad diet promoting daughter?

First you go to Mexico. Then you go somewhere without extradition. Although if I had high resources and was fleeing justice, I probably wouldn’t buy a ticket ahead of time. If anything I would book some domestic travel to be on flight manifests.
There really aren't that many places that won't extradite an American back to America. Like, North Korea and maybe Iran. All the other countries famous for not having extradition treaties with the US like Vietnam are happy to extradite on a case by case basis. There are plenty of countries that won't extradite their nationals as a matter of policy like China, Russia, Switzerland, Lebanon, and so on (it's most of the…
Something I've always sort of wondered: If you live on a yacht in international waters, will the US Navy come and pick you up? For someone of Ms. Holmes' level of GTA stars.

Pro Pro tip: Don't buy anything, America as a landmass can be crossed from the Southern tip to Alaska with a simple car (however a LandCruiser or a Jeep would be better to face the offroad and/or the snow)
are you suggesting it would be better to be on the lamb in remote parts right under the noses of the gov't attempting to be avoided? how well did that work out for Ted Kaczynski or Eric Rudolf and these were guys that loved the idea of living in the wilderness. how well do you think little ms pampered would make in a cabin in the woods?
She only had to make the uncomfortable car trip once. From San Francisco to Mexico City.
There are thousands of metropolis outside the US, hundreds in Latin America and about 20 just South of the US border in Mexico.

#119> 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…
At this point does it matter that we are left with the assumption that the 'I'm not worried I'm too pretty go to jail' (paraphrasing) dude also tried to flee conviction
Actually she was right, she is waiting prison sentence, but she is not in jail
Re: Elizabeth Holmes bought one-way ticket to Mexico after convicted of fraud
#120She 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.
When I crossed into Mexico near San Diego I left through an unattended one way turnstile. Leaving America is like leaving Disneyland. She could have just walked out.
