I have been meaning to post a thread like this:

Here’s a fun question to ask yourself: if you had to disappear and live out the rest of your days below the radar, where would you go?
Think about it seriously for a moment… it’s an interesting thought experiment. Assuming you had a dream team of angry creditors, bounty hunters, private investigators, and/or government agents chasing after you, where would you go?
There are several countries where disappearing is a relatively easy thing to do. We’ve talked about a few of them in the past– places like Morocco, Brazil, Lebanon, and the Philippines.
Venezuela is also one to consider.

So where would you guys go?
I got that e-mail the other day. He conveniently failed to mention extradition law with the US in pretty much all of those countries.
Check out this
map.
I could remain incognito in a lot of places but if the law was coming after me real hard and I wanted to avoid extradition, the question becomes, where could you go?
From the looks of that map, doesn't seem like there's many good choices out there.

I would stay right here in Brazil , in a small beach town up there in the northeast..living the simple life.
Or anywhere in Poland if I could take the cold winters.

Man I hung out at a friend's beach home in Arembepe north of Salvador. That place was heaven. I could easily lay low out there.
We hung out there with some friends for a week after the Carnaval in Salvador. It was so peaceful. Nice small town. Good looking girls. Good feijao. Beautiful beaches.
We got in a wrangler truck and drove out to some hippie village nearby where Mick Jagger, Roman Polanski and Janis Joplin used to live. The people who lived there were mostly from Europe and lived on some kind of barter system. They would make goods and sell them on weekends. They just lived like that everyday. No possessions whatsoever.

More proof that Sovereign Man is full of shit. If you want to be found, I'll find you.
But the premise is interesting. I'd disappear within the United States.
Work doing manual labor in the Dakotas.
Lots of people are still paid cash under the table.
Live in a small trailer on some acreage.
Lots of criminals are never found - or only found decades later - using this strategy.

Extradition issues aside, I'd think you could disappear in northern Thailand (Chiang Mai is the city I'm alluding to). Live cheaply, bang cute girls (hotter up north than in the south where BKK is), and there are enough foreigners there that you won't stick out like a sore thumb.

True story. This guy that used to work for me got caught with underage porn on his computer a year and a half ago by the Feds. They took his passport and computers.
I told him to get the fuck out of here and he thought about it and hired a lawyer. Not a word for one year and then they came down on his house like the swat team and arrested him. He spent 70k on legal and got 12 years in Federal prison. He's gone as of last month.
I told him just to have someone sail him to Cuba and lay low. Taiwan also doesn't really have strong extradition laws and he used to live there and loved it. Stupid!
Moral here. Get that second passport while you can. I'm just fine living on a sailboat off the Cuban coast or on a Greek island.
I can go into way more detail about this but don't want to post due to legal reasons

Thailand, Laos, Vietnam.
This is all assuming that you have a nest egg. You can really stretch it in these places.

As regards to the original question: Maybe one of the unrecognised countries would be a good choice? Transdniester,Abkhazia,South Ossetia or Nagorno Karabagh. Marry a local girl,get a local passport and then know there was little your country could do to get you back. Failing that Russia/Belarus. Have strong contacts in both.

In the states? - Brooklyn, Bronx, and just melt deeply into the West Indian community.
Problems
- a way to make a living
- homesickness - wanting to contact friends and family.
Man you'd definitely get caught in NYC. No question. Do you know how many cameras there are in NYC? They also have a beast network of officers (formal, plainclothes, detectives, undercover, and guys who work privately).

Well, if you're gonna skate, step 1: Remember your hard drive.
Your hard drive will have every internet search you've done.
Also, Google keeps track of every search you've done.
So if I wanted to find you....Get your ISP#. Then subpoena Google. Get record of all your searches.
Probably firefox and chrome secretly track your internet moves. So pull those, too.
Also, how you gonna survive in Thailand? You going to bring $100,000 cash?
Because if you wire money, you're found.
Sovereign Man is selling a fantasy.
Guys who want to escape already have their escape set up. They have millions stashed in different countries, different passports, and access to private jets and boats to skate.
Finding people is really easy. It's only a matter of time....

If he had did it in Bahia he probably would never been prosecuted.
