Here is something else to think about.

Lets say Micon has 2 mil to his name. Why would he flee to Antigua and start seals over, ensuring he cant come back to the US ever again. If he was truly balling he could get a badass attorney and squeeze off the hook ray bitar style, maybe serve a short prison stint & get out mostly unscathed. His actions with fleeing & restarting seals are those of a desperate man who still needed an income to survive & was out of options to support himself.
