Hola!

Is it true that Brazil has no extra-dition (sic) treaty with the USA? Can I commit a crime that would net me a sizable amount of money and try to make it to Brazil, then I would be free?

I read about a man from my hometown who took his children to Brazil after a divorce (he did not have custody) and was nabbed in Brazil, so what is the truth?

I would enjoy living in South America if I could off a bank and live the rest of my life in luxury. But I know that it is never that easy.

Thats agood question, and my guess is that the Brazilian government will extradite the criminal, yet it is very unlikely they can find you, unless you are listed in the INTERPOL, it always comes on handy to change your name

Hola!

About five years ago, an armoured bank guard held up his own unit and robbed the car of between 10-20 million dollars (whatever it was, it was quite a haul). This dude, I believe was making 7-7.50 dollars per hour at this job, barely enough to survive on in a 40 hour week. He tied the other guard up to a tree after the heist, but did not shoot him or harm him.

The dude while running made the national news in the USA. He ran to Mexico for a while, then tried to enter back to the USA thru Texas, where he was stopped and arrested.

The FBI, during a search of his apartment found brochures of Brasil lying around. When hje came across the Mexico/Texas border (with the loot or part of it) he gave as an alias as his roomate. Of course the FBI had this information, his picture and everything else, and probably this slob is now doing 20 years no parole in a tight little Federal pen.

I think this guy was cool in a way, but he really F-ed up in the end. I would bribed every guard from here to Brasil with money, plus, I would of picked an alias right off the bat, had that named certified thru a drivers license or something before I committed this caper, (considering that this dude never committed a crime before, I cannot do this, because I have been arrested before, the FBI has a copy of my prints and the armoured company would of done a background check)

I would like to be sitting on a beach in Brasil, Cambodia, Thailand or Syria laughing at the insurance company that had to pay for all the money I stole from them. Yee Haw. A fantasy unfulfilled.

Its funny because with the new laws adopted by the brazilian government it has become harder, remember american tourist are being check at brazilian airoports.

As far as the guy goes, he should have remained in Mexico, and waited for at least thre years and then try to go somewhere else.
