What's the smallest amount of money you'd need to get to flee the country? (self.asklemmy)

So imagine this:

you owe X amount of money, and fleeing the country makes it vanish

Or you accidentally are given X amount of money, and fleeing the country is only way to keep it

Generic disappear

Go to the library and study about the country you want to run to. I would pick someplace with a coast. Don't use your home computer or phone, you don't want anyone to find these searches.

Go buy a cheap laptop from a pawnshop and get a small Linux distro like Puppy or Tiny Core. Load Tor and find yourself a dark market. Buy a new identity. When your transaction is complete trash the laptop burn the USB stick you ran your Linux distro off of.

Buy a boat. Post all over social media about your boat and how you love sailing or fishing or whatever you do in your boat.

This is the hard part, go on a boat trip and at some point call in an emergency then abandon the boat. Make it look good drag out all the life vests and or sink the boat. Swim/row to shore and never ever ever ever go back to your old life.

You could do it for about $30k.

My local library requires you sign in, and your own device would need MAC address spoofing.

Then you could use the Linux distro with a VPN from a public wifi.

I like the way you think.
