Nice title - but by reading the article it seems (McAfee's suspicion) is this more of an issue regarding a rich ex-patriot refusing to bribe a local official in the developing world, then meth labs or dead dogs.
I would not ordinarily correct a false-cognate spelling mistake but since this one will get you in trouble: Expatriates live abroad, ex-patriots have grown to hate their country. The two sets are very much not coextensive.
My mistake, thanks for highlighting this error.
