RE: 11 and 12- This is why the Post is dreck and shouldn't ever be trusted. According to the Times, Israel's rabbi is one David Goldstein. I'm Jewish, this is not to say Jews are more crooked than Christians or any of that nonsense. This is to say that the Post is a crap newspaper and shouldn't be trusted.

Apparently it's easier to in the US than it is to get out, with the exception of some cowardly Serbs.

A Christian crook and liar? Is there such a thing?

What a putz. Twenty fucking years! Plus whatever gets added on for running. Better to keep running. Didn't he have money to get smuggled out of the country? The guy will be at least 68 when he gets out. BTW, according to a friend of his he's not Jewish. A quote from the Post from several weeks ago when he disappeared: But "Sam is a Christian man, and suicide, I don't think, was in his nature," said the friend, who requested anonymity.

The US Marshalls should have immediately taken him to the Bear Mountain Bridge and thrown him off, labeled it a suicide, case closed.

Probably knew the cops were looking out for him and he'd never be able to get out of the country. Better to go to Club Fed than live like one of those backcountry fugitives.

He didn't still have the money right? He was supposed to report to jail.

With all that money he couldn't get further away than Massachussetts? He probably took the Fung-Wah!

It was so obvious that he didn't off himself; leaving a note on his car saying "Suicide is Painless" - ah-DUH.
