Fugitive

Living in America: a Guide for the Perplexed Chapter 16

The thing is, being a con or a fugitive from justice is work too. Certainly, when I got a close eyeball into the world of electronic fund transfer, I realized that damn near anyone, with a little ingenuity and a little planning and one of the hardest night's work you've ever seen, could reap a respectable personal fortune by ripping off thousands of credit card companies for cash advances. There's a few tricks that would help you avoid capture, although as I say, I think that it isn't really illegal until you fail to pay it all back...

But what a drag, you know, hiding out from the big turmoil with wads of hard currency in some dull tropical paradise. And collecting all that plastic! It's crazy, though, really, to consider that two hundred bucks a day would make a million last some thirteen years.

klik if you demand tedious explanations of every little thing.
