White collar fugitives lack street smarts

White-collar fugitives...often fail to escape the law because of what prosecutors and bounty hunters say is a lack of preparation for the rigors of life on the lam....White-collar fugitives often run out of money or lack the mental sturdiness to elude police, said Duane Chapman, star of the television program "Dog the Bounty Hunter."

This is an amusing article. White collar criminals tend to buy their own hype, and so have a hard time leaving behind their elite lifestyles and high flying ways. I'm imagining these guys are wearing Phillippe Patek watches as they're pulled in. And it seems somehow significant that one of the fugitives featured on America's Most Wanted that has NOT been captured is a woman.

Did you see the recent articles about this on Wired's site and in their latest issue? They tend to draw the same conclusion.
So, now I find myself wondering, what if someone did plan ahead? What would that planning look like and how well would it succeed? Seems like a thriller in the making, doesn't it?
