If you read the article he still has to pay the exit tax.

I read the article. You mean the exit tax that "trapped" him in the USA, from which he just expatriated? I must have missed that part.

You seem to have interpreted "trapped" more literally than I. My take was that it meant he was "trapped" into paying taxes, not physically trapped in the US.
