Earlier quoted context omitted.

Ruja Ignatova is also suspected of hiding in Montenegro, she is behind the OneCoin ponzi scheme and has successfully been on the run for 5 years now. It appears that Do Kwon did a very rookie mistake by believing he could take a plane at the airport like every one else.

saw this from a couple of days ago - https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/bulgarian-woman-charged...

Was she hiding too or were they just waiting, maybe hoping it could provide more information?

He's been charged in so many places that I am curious to know where he'll be deported to.

> curious to know where he'll be deported to

It looks like Montenegro can extradite to Korea [1][2].

Should have gone to Transnistria.

You might need to update estimations about Transnistria's mid-term availability

Weev went to transnistria, stayed the 1 year it takes to get the passport, and then somehow is living in Ukraine off that passport despite the fact it isn't even recognized by Ukraine. There's also several other 'microstates' that recognize Transnistria's passport, so presumably once you have it you can stay in one of those places. If a fugitive doesn't mind living in a bumfuck mountain or desert with nothing but a cow and a woman they'll probably be fine.

It's time to remind everyone that "Have fun staying poor" was one of Do Kwon's favorite putdowns.

I will remember the "I am not on the run" -> Shows up at the airport with a fake passport

My "not on the run" t-shirt has a lot of people asked questions already answered by my shirt.

I'm sure Singapore and the US would like to have a word as well.
