Jacques Philippa, a member of the SS, spent 29 years in the attic of his parents after the second world war to escape his death penalty. He was only found out because his mother died and elderly father could no longer take care of him.

It seems the main difference is that Philippa spent most of this timed confined to the attic rather than just walk around outside assuming no one would find him. Or trading his crypto assuming no one would notice.

Kind of an amazing story by the way, but not many resources available about it in English. But for those who can speak Dutch there's e.g. https://meitotmei.nl/zoldernazi-jacques-philippa-begon-zijn-... or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQceZ5O2oog
