The fuck do you mean 'can't collect'?
Send a couple burly blokes to their personal residence with a warrant to sieze property equal to the value of the debt.
That's how it works for us taxpaying, law-abiding citizens, SO ENFORCE IT ON THESE FUCKERS YOU CUNTS
Seriously, this isn't fucking hard.
Regular people who are wrongly accused of a crime can get convicted because they're relying on a shitty public defender, and then spend years inside jail, learning the law, just to be able to prove their own innocence.
If poor people with no resources can prove their innocence from inside jail or prison, so can these motherfuckers. There's no reason to let them fight it for 31 years and then just give the fuck up.
The third and fourth sentences of the article:
If I stole $62 million dollars (fta, Bilzerian owes this as his original amount), I'd be thrown in jail.
They've let this guy dick around for 31 years and haven't gotten the public's money back.
The USA has extradition with St Kitts and Nevis as far as I can tell. Running away to a tax shelter island (a British commonwealth, for fucks sake) shouldn't be enough for the USA to shrug it's sholders and give up.
The capitalist class plays by different rules. Don't let them get away with excuses like this.
I suspect the SEC is imposing civil penalties (as opposed to criminal fines) which aren't the sort of thing you can extradite over
Read the article. It's not that simple.
