It's amazing how they already had tabs on this guy and just waited for him to leave but without arresting him sooner if you think you broke the law and want to avoid arrest, stay away from the airport. anyone who buys a ticket they get your full info and then the arrest is as easy as picking you up at the gate, nowhere to hide.
I wonder if the request to show up at the Seattle office was some kind of working with law enforcement. Evidently he planned to flee to India instead of take the meeting. He seems to have known there was risk to him in that meeting.
Most fully remote companies won't demand an in person meeting unless it's something of a disciplinary nature anyway. Merely a message saying "Your employer requires you to appear at X time at Y place" would be a red flag for many.

Moral of the story: buy lotsa tickets when you try to skip town
Add this to them blocking withdrawals for assets whenever these assets start pumping on other exchanges and lots of people try to withdraw at the same time, and multiple other shady practices most exchanges do (but not all, for example Kraken has been decent for quite some time and are one of the few exchanges that are pro transparency when it comes to their reserves) and you get yourself Finance 2.0, where the few are allowed to prey on the many, and you can't compete with the few (for example when Arthur Hayes was kicked out and replaced by Sam Bankman Fried).

Could well be he was tipped off about the purpose of the meeting... Most fully remote companies won't demand an in person meeting unless it's something of a disciplinary nature anyway.

This was a meeting with a security team though?
