Conforte was 54 when he first fled the country in 1980 and 65 when he fled in 1991. According to wiki Brazil doesn't extradite for bankruptcy fraud, not that they don't have an extradition treaty with the US. Oscar Bonavena wasn't on the run from the law, not in Argentina nor in Nevada. Polanski was 44 when he fled. Cosby is 80. Even someone who is healthy for 80 doesn't want to start a new life in another country away from family and a US standard of medical care. And I haven't seen any indications of this, though I am not following the details of the case closely, but I'm sure the court has frozen his assets or at least has a way to keep him from sending his money out of the country. And Cosby is just too recognizable to blend in anywhere. There are fugitives who managed to escape the US for years and decades but they were financiers. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
