Much be nice to be rich where you do crime, go anywhere you want, and escape the punishment. No federal no-fly list to be put on because it's all state charges.

Uh, yeah... I guess? Step 2 is doing a lot of heavy lifting because states can and do extradite internationally. There's a whole federal office which exists for this specific purpose: the OIA. It's hardly a "happily ever after" situation to spend the rest of your life far away from home and constantly looking over your shoulders.

That would work too.
