He lives in Dubai, within one of the US's closest allies in the region. I'd be worried.

There are so many people who do not want to show up in the US (or elsewhere) and are living in Dubai that I would not be too worried. There is a full spectrum from former businessmen to current warlords.

Dubai has a lot to lose by damaging its reputation as a safe haven for wealthy exiles. My 2c.

Dubai extradites hundreds of persons every year, including to US.

They have even more to lose by creating an image of criminal safe-haven.
