I am talking about people born in USA or who committed crimes in USA after having lived here for a while, who when indicted/convicted of crimes successfully managed to flee the country and evade the Justice System forever.

Edward Snowden comes to mind, I don't completely know what he did, I know he exposed the US govt spying on it's own citizens and that's good, but apparently he put lives in danger and blah.. blah.. blah.. (I don't know if that's true, if it is, then idk, I might not like him anymore)

Yeah, but who else other than Snowden

There's D. B. Cooper. He was never actually caught, so he never actually got charged or indicted, but he's one of the few high-profile cases that has never been solved.

There’s also no proof he survived.

Also DB Cooper was Loki

Isn’t this the guy that people sometimes joke is Tommy Wiseau?

[–] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah; they also joke about him being an alien because until recently no one knew where he came from or what he did before he came to the US. However iirc there's been more info about him recently that suggests otherwise.

this is a complex issue, i mean, there are way too many conspiracy theories on this ig
