I wonder that about pretty much any case of embezzlement these days. With conventional larceny, a thief can appear clean after fencing the stolen goods, but moving money around other than as cash leaves a paper trail indefinitely. There's no point where you can say, "Now I've escaped with the loot, and everything's done."
Agreed, the timing was so precise in this case I just expected that he'd be out of the country by the time they came to his house a few days later. Maybe his plan was foiled when the banks froze his accounts almost immediately.
