One universal law is that if you steal from people with more money than you, you're screwed. And the more money they have, the worse off you are.

But on a serious note, whenever you read about some people that have either managed to outright steal crypto, or find some vulnerability which hasn't been legality tested...and they just pack their bags, hoping to live life free, forever after. It just seems so naive, too naive with how smart these individuals otherwise tend to be.

I think it is fair to say that once you'll cross a threshold, could be a million. could be 10 million. could be 50 million. All depends on who you've taken it from, you'll realistically be hunted for life.

The people that do get away with these things, are state sponsored operators - but they don't walk away with tens of millions in loot, either.

EDIT: Reading the article, this guy sounds like a real piece of work.
