Am certainly doing a lot of thinking lately, so this is how it feels living on borrowed time.
I think this don’t apply to Europe … it’s way more « forgiving here »
Search the statute of limitations on your crime!
What's the incentive for his country's law enforcement to seek out such a deal? If they can't put the OP in prison, what else could they gain from him? Bail money?
I assume those people can't get a bank account in their country of residence, so they are either forced to reply on the Nominee services, or do everything with cash? Isn't it getting harder these days to go by with cash alone? Not to mention the risk of theft
Statute of limitations! Once it runs out, the crime prescribes and it's a stain on their career. Some even have ambitions for a political career. The ambitious parasites can't have a guy (the OP) out there running around offering them a fair deal to dispense justice and bring some relief to the victims, and they are snubbing him. Will make them look really bad...especially if OP is a vengeful person!
You just gave me a great idea for OP.
Good morning. For mine, it's the same as Singapore - no statute of limitations in criminal matters.Search the statute of limitations on your crime!
Definition: a statute prescribing a period of limitation for the bringing of certain kinds of legal action.
There may be one. It may only be three years.
E.g. here is one vis-à-vis Singapore:
Limitation Periods: What’s the Deadline for Suing in Singapore?
PS. Technically, in Singapore, there is NO statute of limitations in criminal matters. I say technically because once self-preservation enters the equation, all bets are off.
PSS. I chose Singapore because they are known to be hardnosed about these things
Thanks for your suggestions, those seem like viable routes for regular folks but in my case I have a record as I did plead guilty like twice (which was a huge mistake) but yeah the country is good with bribes - and the letter of good conduct is issued by the police so there's maybe something there to explore.
Thanks for sharing but that seems extremely risky lolStatute of limitations! Once it runs out, the crime prescribes and it's a stain on their career. Some even have ambitions for a political career.

@bingbong - All these "refugees" are coming to Europe on a boat from Africa and getting new IDs and whatnot. New names etc etc. Why can't you?
Oh, my friends and family do visit me pretty frequently, or we'll just meet up in a neighbouring country.
This is the saddest for me!
If he goes back, he can get caged and then shipped out to a prison in an area of the country too far for his family to visit. People in "government" are petty people. Their entire raison d'être is to hurt others. Hurt people hurt people!
I'm so sorry to hear this.
You don't want to be a money mule in Thailand lol.
I think you answered it to yourself. If you don't see how can you live in your home country search another home.
Yep! Good catch, BTW.
You hit the nail right on the head! Any request (positive or negative) and one can kiss their passport *ss goodbye!
#Bingo They also are aware that many fraudsters have scammed their own Chinese citizens, so they are more forgiving. Even some party leaders elderly parents got scammed, used, & abused by these scammers. Most lost their life savings. And definitely, the Chinese do NOT extradite their own. I remember in the 80s and 90s former college buddies working then in 3-letter agencies telling stories that the Chinese MLAT counterparts won't even acknowledge the existence of ANY request that included Chinese citizens.
It happened to me in the 80s. My own older brother, married to a suspicious family in Miami, fooled me and scammed me as soon as I turned 18 (an adult there), into signing a life insurance that in the case of my early "departure" would allow them, the beneficiaries, to collect the sum of $250K. Mind you, I was in the US with a student visa & a full-blown academic scholarship to do a double major in Electrical & Computer Engineering.
Yes I do speak Mandarin, and Cantonese. I'm wondering though what happens if my current passport expires prior to obtaining the citizenship? And yes I have absolutely no idea - and that's the issue, I don't know how many victims there are, i.e. how many potential cases!
Jafo, I get what you mean especially the part where about trusting everyone and the idea of scams being foreign to you.Yep! Good catch, BTW.

That "was family". Those were people my mom & dad reared and trusted and "forced" me to trust them also, notwithstanding my trepidation and objections. Talk about gullibility and stupidity mixed and empowered.
So, yes...if you had parents who warned you about these things (I didn't - the Southern Europeans were all about "family"), you can easily escape becoming a target. On the other hand, I did have Northern Europeans as neighbors who REALLY warned me and told me my parents were COMPLETELY wrong, so due to these Northern Europeans, I was able to avoid life's disasters.
PS. I was born and grew up on a Northern European colonial island where my "Southern European" parents were immigrants & everyone trusted everyone and nobody locked their doors, so the concept of scams was alien to me, although I did have the elderly (Northern Europeans) on the island warn me that America is NOT "the good/angelic place" they portrayed in Hollywood...and neither was the world!
Hi Mike, thanks for chiming in. You can tell I'm panicking eh? Still have a bit of PTSD from jail lol it was bad, like real bad...
Shooting themselves in the foot, are they? Why would anyone risk investing into their passport if it's so easily revoked?
these banana republics must show that they have “strong due diligence processes” with facts.
I applaud you for thinking way ahead of the curve. They, the passport issuers, can't. I don't know why. Their motto is the same as in Nigeria: "Now now!"
