      He probably overstayed so long already so if he left by airplane or airport they would have caught him directly and arrested him for overstaying so long. His best take was getting out of the USA by car, bus, boat to a nearby country like Mexico or an other South American country and then leave that country from there by plane or whatever.

    A lot of comments kept saying “he should have stayed low” “reinvest the money to grow more money” and etc… without realizing the fact that scamming/stealing is never a rational/right thing to begin with, and how can we expect someone who started the game in a fraudulent manner, suddenly goes back to rational and normal?
    Believe it or not, if he get away this round or after he finished his jail term, he will definitely pull off another round of scamming/stealing.

      Logically speaking. A boring person doesn't care about attention. Someone who cares about attention will do outrageous things for it.
      So it makes sense criminals would want to show off. They don't want to be boring, they aren't content with that. They want attention and to live an exciting life at the expense of others.
