He left US, or at least he did according to Danny.
Ukyo confirmed that on IRC. One of Danny's coworkers has confirmed it as well.
I think its fair to not only share the half info. He went to cyprus in order to work with NEOBEE to repair the weexchange wallet. At least thats what he claims.
Unless you think the weexchange wallet is in Cyprus, or that Cypriots have technology unavailable in US, i find that a bit suspect.
I presented you with a list of possible answers to your question "Why didn't [Ukyo] just run?" Here it is again:
1. Why didn't Labcoin just run? The same argument was used there over and over.
2. He left US, or at least he did according to Danny.
3. His identity is well known -- running is the worst option for him.
4. Why run when you don't have to? Judging by this forum, we have short attention spans and aren't likely to follow through.I made an effort to keep the list terse and factual. I am not assuming that Ukyo has left US -- only that Danny made a statement to that effect. You, on the other hand, are assuming that the actors involved are honest & could be taken at their word. A trusting attitude, at least in the "Scam Accusations" subforum.
