Running and not returning would be probably the easiest and sane thing to do but I'm not that type of person. I will continue to pay the best I can and I'm working on trying to return as many bitcoins as possible to the people that loaned them to me.
Hashking f****d up big time, but I think we should respect him for not doing a runner. As I said in a previous post, I don't think he's a bad person. I actually think people have been very lenient with him to be fair when you consider the massive debt involved.
Yes he could do a runner, but who wants to live the rest of their life in hiding? That's not a life. Not a position I'd envy.
