I think his big mistake was thinking he stole only from honest people.
I'm 100% sure that there were, not so honest, people among us that will chase him if nothing comes back.
The way it looks like is that everybody accepts what has happened.
So start an exchange, run it for some months and get on the run because everybody sees it as a risk they take.

He is gone, and when it got to hot he made an announcement here, so everybody slowed down tracking him.
After these messages he is gone and, i hope i'm wrong, he is laying in the sun spending our money ...... very simple.
