I have a feeling that as soon as the case against Uber is done, Google is going to go after Lewandowski...try to teach him a lesson and send a message to other Googlers thinking about doing the same.

For strategic reasons they might have chosen to go after Uber first

That'll be interesting. He has "buy your way into non-extradition country" level funds. He can move in with Snowden maybe, and launch the Russian Uber?

- Hi Janice (teller at bank,) I would like to withdraw $25 million.

-- Um, OK let me see...( Hello, FBI /Secret Service /FINCERN)

I have a feeling he's being watched, unless he planned it years ago. FBI can probably charge him within hours and freeze everything. Also non-extradition isn't it for citizens of that country? Never underestimate the pressure USA can put on countries, especially for run-of-the-mill-crimes.

That's what I meant by He has "buy your way into non-extradition country" level funds. 100's of millions buys special treatment.

As for his funds, he isn't currently charged with a crime.

I am surprised Google hasn't tried a Sergey Aleynikov, on him yet.

That's Part A. Part B is going after his money. I'd go to jail for hundreds of millions, which he has /had.

Clearly you've never been in jail.

Jail for hundreds of millions of dollars..if I got to keep it? I'd do it. Nope, never been to jail and I know it's dangerous, but then no doubt it's navigable, with that type of crime and money.

Not if I already had $120 mil like he had, of course.

He already had 120+ millions. Would you go to jail for 300 million if you already had 120?

Nope, even $3 mil would be FU money for me. No private jet but it's not like I have one now.

What are you going to do with your hundreds of millions when you're in jail?

I wouldn't be surprised if there is already an investigation underway.
