But the Judge took his passport...

I think he may still be alive but some modern day Ving Rhymes is getting medieval on his ass well beyond what one might see at Gitmo or some CIA black site.

Passport or not, if I stole a half-billion dollars and wanted to get gone--I'd get gone.

Broke people can flee. If I had that kind of money, I would flee in style.

Hmm. Bayou hedge funds. Sounds like a swamp full of alligators.

The FBI was real quick to rule out suicide. My guess is he has left a money trail. What I don't understand is armed and dangerous. The guy is a hedge fund manager. He steals with a pen, not with a gun. I have a hunch there is a whole lot more to this story than the AP is reporting.

Oh, if you made off with 1/2 billion, do you think that maybe you could buy a forged passport some place.

With that kind of money and that kind of sentence, the guy always was a flight risk. That some judge let him out on bail prior to going to prison must have some prosecutor's or judge's ass in a sling right about now.

People, please refer to the soundtrack from the movie, not the theme song from the TV series. The TV series never played the lyrics in question. Robert Altman would be appalled.

I just don't get the greed factor in life. This guy undoubtedly made some money in his life without breaking the law. Was it not enough? Did he think he could make hundreds of millions of dollars disappear and no one would notice? What exactly was
so necessary in his life to try and steal almost half a billion dollars? More cars? More homes? More $100K watches?

Too much money really is like a drug for some people. You just want more, even if you already have more than you could ever spend in ten lifetimes.

Oh while we're at it, the John Schuck character, who is called the "Painless Pole," wakes up with a blue ribbon tied to, you get the idea here, and cheers back up because wherever he was, he won first prize. The joke isn't original to the movie or for that matter the book -- lots of versions involving a Scotsman and his kilt -- but AFAIK this is the only one that has a theme song attached. And yes, they did allow 15-year-old girls to sing this song at summer camp. Among other things.

FATE, KARMA and FREE WILL

As is commonly known in Metaphysical circles, all future events are governed by 3 principals: Fate, Karma and Free Will.

Fate is something that is more or less set in stone. It is not negotiable. Fate is what many religious people would refer to as “God’s Will” since they perceive God’s will to be separate from their own. They often fail to see that they are extensions of the Divine - manifestations of the God within.

For a Psychic, Fate is the easiest thing for us to read. However, when hired to perform metaphysical services, Fate is unbendable.

Karma is a whole other matter entirely. Karma, contraray to recent popular belief, has little or nothing to do with morality. Rather, Karma is simply the Universal Law of cause and effect. Whatsoever you project into the Universe will be reflected right back at you.

Because the life of a Soul extends beyond the continuous cycle of physical birth and death, actions and their subsequent consequences follow you from one lifetime to the next. From a Psychic’s point of view, Karma is a often a pattern - and a rather predictable one at that. A good Psychic Advisor will understand Karmic patterns and will be able to help you to change these cycles to your advantage.

It cannot be overemphasized the importance of achieving and maintaining good Karma for leading a happy, healthy and productive life. Your Karma is like your engine - keep it clean and keep it running strong.

Bad Karma is one of the worst curses a being can endure. If you find that this is your problem, I would urge you to address it now before the cycle gets worse.
Karma is a powerful force in the trajectory of your life. Getting your Karma right is of the upmost importance in changing negative patterns and living a healthy spiritual life filled with the abundance of all that is good, positive and fulfilling.
So I’ve briefly covered Fate and Karma, but what about Free Will?

Free Will:

There are essentially two types of consciousness - Individual and Collective. The Collective is greater than the sum of all Indivial Consciousnesses. The Individual consciousness emmanates from the Collective. It is supported by the Collective, but it also informs the Collective.

What does this mean? In other words, your own state of mind affects the world around you. You have a huge amount of influence.

Although recent phenomenon in pop culture such as “The Secret” tends to exagerrate, over-simplify and become fixated on greed as the meaning of life - the main thrust, the underlying fundamental idea is actually correct. The Law of Attraction. The power of the mind, i.e. “Free Will” is so much greater than most people will ever know.

Your thoughts not only affect how you perceive reality, but how you actually create reality. Life is subject to certain factors which are outside of your control. There are Laws to the Universe. There are ways that the planet seems to be structured which are often inalterable.

But even so, the power of your mind is so potent that, in spite of so many factors and forces of opposition, you truly are The Master of Your Own Destiny.
