Leave the party for, what?

I'm not sure they have many other choices to maintain their power / assets at home / etc. I think most of them are effectively without much in the way of alternatives.

As it is infighting inside Russia can be pretty brutal / risky. I can't imagine losing any political clout would be a good choice.

too many of them have stolen enough to live comfortably even in US without having to work ever again. It has always been “Plan B” for many, so they can just take that.

It doesn't work like that in Russia, this is not the type of mentality. You have to keep returning favors one way or another and unless you risk your ass on American soil for the FSB you or your wealth won't last long.

That doesn't make sense.

You suggested they should freeze the assets of these guys ...

FBI/CIA probably tracks all of them and knows where they own things. It wouldn't be toooo hard to repossess or destroy.
