Doubt he is running, probably just waddling.

Lmao speedwalking at best
He is probably âwaddlingâ around somewhere with no extradition treaty with the US.
No, not his country of birth, Malaysia, or his long time residence, Singapore.
PS> At least he will have familiar things around him when his belongings reach him:

If you are right and he pulls this off. Its a serious feat of logistics. Ofc the US Marshalls will do everything they can do to stop it.

He has good friends in high places in the US Navy. Isnât there a major US Navy base in San Diego?
U-Haul trucks arenât used for long haul/overseas move. Could he be closer than you think??

Maybe he has called in his private Marines and Gurkhas to help with the house moving?:

Could this picture have been taken onboard my Father-in-Lawâs old ship, the RAF Sir Lancelot?
(He was Captain of her back in the 1960s while managed by BI)
Later owned by by Fat Leonard as the Glenn Braveheart:
Seen here at Glenn Defence Marinesâ base in Singapore 2006:

PS> Maybe he get to play himself in the upcoming TV show?
Looked like he slimmed down in the photo I saw. But renal cancer will do that to you.
Wait, so a foreign national who pleaded guilty to bribing high government officials in one of the largest military bribery scandals in recent history was permitted to just hang out on house arrest pending sentencing? I gather he had some medical issues, but geez that still seems reckless!

Singapore media is reporting on the case:
He could have crossed the border into Mexico, and from there traveled anywhere else, if I was going to bet, I would say Cuba, but who knows.
I also say, Run Leonard Run, sung to the tune of Run Bambi Run

Yes I presume the border is porous both ways and close by.
He may have been able to purchase a false passport and gone through the legal checkpoint (I donât think he is able to climb the fence, or swim around it)
Here is the opinion of the local news service:
He also appeared in a podcast some time ago:

Crossing from the U.S. into Mexico is easy, no passport would be required

So it is a one-way boarder?
Or can you get back in without a passport too?
Why risk crossing a border? Itâs San Diego, AKA Smugglerâs Row. Take an after midnight cruise to international waters, rendezvous with something, go somewhere. Slow escapes are often the most successful escapes.

Last time I walked across was from Brownsville Texas into Mexico in 2000. At that time all you needed was a quarter ($0.25) to put in the turnstile and walk across the bridge. Retuning back to the US you needed to show a birth certificate if you didnât have a passport. Obviously the return got much more involved post-9/11. But Iâd guess going in the Mexico direction is not much different today.

Great June 2022 article from WAPO about a Mexican police squad that specializes in capturing American fugitives. (The article might be behind a pay wall). Here is an excerpt:
âŚHere in Baja California, thereâs one small unit of state police â 10 men and two women â assigned to catch them. Officially, theyâre the International Liaison Unit. But theyâre known by another name: the Gringo Hunters.
Pursuing American fugitives in Mexico might seem like the punchline of an unwritten joke, a xenophobic stereotype inverted: Donald Trumpâs âbad hombresâ in reverse.
This is, after all, the Baja Peninsula, a dagger of land jutting into the Pacific, with deserted beaches and sprawling cities that nurture anonymity. Among its most popular tourism campaigns? âEscape to Baja.â
The unit now catches an average of 13 Americans a month. Since it was formed in 2002, it has apprehended more than 1,600. Many of those suspects were inspired by one of Americaâs oldest cliches: the troubled outlaw striding into a sepia-toned Mexico in the hope of disappearing forever.
âŚ[Squad member] Ivan knows the stereotypes â all the ways life imitates art in Baja â because he apprehends versions of the same misguided fugitive every other day.
âWe find them everywhere,â he said. âAnd almost always, they have no idea weâre looking for them. They think: âWeâre in Mexico. Weâre home free.â â
âŚHereâs an incomplete list of where Mexican officers have found American fugitives:
In beach resorts. Dangling from parasails. In remote mountain cabins. In fishing boats. At a nightclub called Papas & Beer. In drug rehabilitation centers. In trailer parks. Tending bars. In cars with prostitutes. In Carlâs Jr. parking lots.
Some were on crystal meth. Some had undergone plastic surgery and acquired new names they couldnât pronounce. Some were found dead.
There were former Playboy models, Catholic priests, professional athletes, C-list celebrities, ex-MarinesâŚ

Which is why he wouldnât want to touch land in Mexico.
I find it hard to believe somebody with his background and resources would be unable to find a âfriendâ with an oceangoing yacht.
