When you make the decision to steal from people sitting in front of you, the whole game get's amped way up. There are some very wealthy and I assume connected folks here and $2.5M is just not enough to spend the rest of your day's looking over your shoulder - waiting for someone to "get even". This sh__hole made it very personal. He did catch one break though - - he didn't steal from me.

True. It amazes me how people just don't care about geography.

Also, a few days ago I did some basic research into the name. For some reason, I kept getting results for Trinidad and Tobago.

The Maraj's have ties there and where they are originally from. Assume Sookralli the same from what I can tell.

Seeing he was pretty much raised in the USA and his children have only known the USA as home, he could still be in the USA hoping this wasn't going to blow up so big.

Not hard for them to see where the $$ was wired to.

Wondering if the attorney general or anyone gets involved? Transactions from his business account would tell quite the story.

His face is plastered worldwide now. He's going to have to work again. With his reputation cemented in Google, he'll never be able to outrun this. He has expensive taste, and will need to feed that.

Well, with $2.5M, something close to India and, a penchant for $30k nights clubbing, I'm putting my money on the Maldives. Maybe something like:

hfm,

I see you've put some thought into international travel and living off the grid. Can I come along?

The guy seems to enjoy high living so I figure he'll be broke again in 6-12 months. Old habits are hard to break. If Porsche really wants to know where he is they just need to look at his forwarding address for "Christophorus" magazine.

Someone contacted me looking for any insider tips on anything related to Shiraaz and his time at Champion. Any dealings and interactions with him. Public records, sightings. Told them I'd post the email. Off the record and will keep source confidential.

Or maybe he knew that the U.S. has no extradition treaty with Dubai, but does have one with India...
