I really don't understand that part to be honest, from the point of view of the two Americans. Given their part in the escape you'd think they'd be aware of Japan's terrifying justice system and of the situation with the extradition treaties. Why would you help someone escape all that if you have to go back to a country with an extradition treaty with Japan.

Money - maybe he promised them millions for their help.

I think they were paid about $1.3 million. To me, the amount is surprisingly low given how much money Ghosn has, and the risk and effort involved.

Also I find it strange that the names of these 2 guys were known to everyone in the world immediately after Ghosn escaped.

I don’t think they thought they were at risk and weren’t planning on returning to Japan. I would take 1.3 million in return for never visiting a foreign country again.
