Do those people think that Montenegro won't give them to US? I've seen a few mentions of Montenegro in some American TV shows and they always say "The X has escaped to Montenegro...", "Montenegro doesn't have extradition treaty with US...". That's not true, and it was never true. Montenegro just can't sue them in Montenegrin court, because of the treaty that Montenegro can sue American citizens in American courts.

Even when they were joint state with Serbia they would have been covered by 1899 extradition treaty with US (see Artukovic case which was applied retroactively for crimes on territory not under Serbian jurisdiction in 1899, even if you reject that it would be 1918-2006)

The SEC is a civil agency. It can't arrest people.

No, but it can file cases with the courts, and courts can issue arrest warrants for contempt and failure to appear for a summons.

"SEC investigations are civil, not criminal. The SEC can charge individuals and entities for violating the federal securities laws and seek remedies such as monetary penalties, disgorgement of ill-gotten gains, injunctions, and restrictions on an individual’s ability to work in the securities industry or to serve as an officer or director of a public company, but the SEC cannot put people in jail. Enforcement may refer potential criminal cases to criminal law enforcement authorities for investigation or coordinate SEC investigations with criminal investigations involving the same conduct. If a person is convicted of a criminal violation of the securities laws, a court may sentence that person to serve time in jail."

he was arrested for travelling with fake documents

Our randian cryptoheroes have no use for your trifling government-issued "fiat" documents. My transit visa exists forever on the eternal blockchain!

Keep up, What we actually do when travelling is use a Tornado Mixer. We slice ourselves into thousands of pieces and those pieces are semi-randomly mixed with the pieces of other crypto heroes, who travel by different routes. Only after reaching our final destination are we un-mixed, and sometimes not even that.

By the way, I love having one brown arm and one pink arm.

Even better, now nobody knows which parts of you are criminal and which parts of you are innocent, so no doubt you get treated like an angel by everyone!
