> how well did that work out for Ted Kaczynski or Eric Rudolf and these were guys that loved the idea of living in the wilderness.

Kaczynski lived in the woods for like 2 full decades, right? I'm not sure I get the point.

Where is Kaczynski now? Whether you run to a far off country living a decent maybe modest life before ultimately getting caught vs living like it's the 1800s in not very comfy lifestyle before getting caught, you still got caught. Do you really think ms iAmSomebodySpecial is going to live like the unibomber for 20 years?

so the point is why would someone recommend that a poshSpice type of person live like a mountain man? hell, even Heisenberg couldn't live in the woods by himself before escaping back to his home to his eventual capture.

Again these people are like Osama Bin Laden, Escobar or Chapo. Every cop in the US wanted to be the person capturing them, every administrator pleaded their superiors for resources to go after them, hell people became cops dreaming of making such arrest.

Nobody dreams of chasing a girl around the globe because she convinced some Private Equity Funds and Family Offices to finance a moonshot health bet and then couldn't face the reality that the bet would never convert and so she started lying.

The OneCoin girl for example, if she never sets foot in an airport and has cut ties with family and friends, they'll never get her.

Ted was never meaningfully on the run. The place they found him was the same place with his name on it in the county assessor's office.
