    And yet the only reason he was caught as soon as he was, was because a McDonald’s employee wanted $50,000 (and didn’t even end up getting the money anyway).

    I didn’t say it was a flawless plan or even great, just that he did evade authorities for days despite the insane amount of resources NYPD poured into finding him.

      He was 100% getting caught regardless of who reported seeing him. The only chance he had was ditching everything and running forever.

        If he made it overseas, it would have been much harder.

        I think he would have been much better off going immediately to a lawyer, and go into hiding for a while. Her could have afforded to Doordash some Mickey D’s.
