I get the exact opposite impression from this. If Bolsonaro were actually guilty of any wrongdoing, as opposed to fleeing phony charges by a corrupt government, wouldn't he have picked somewhere more friendly to crime than the US to flee to?

The US is pretty friendly to despots as long as they haven't done anything specifically against US interests.

Moreover, he specifically fled to Florida which has far fewer regulations than, say, CA or NY.
