I am talking about people born in USA or who committed crimes in USA after having lived here for a while, who when indicted/convicted of crimes successfully managed to flee the country and evade the Justice System forever.

Edward Snowden comes to mind, I don't completely know what he did, I know he exposed the US govt spying on it's own citizens and that's good, but apparently he put lives in danger and blah.. blah.. blah.. (I don't know if that's true, if it is, then idk, I might not like him anymore)

Yeah, but who else other than Snowden

The problem is that if they were well known enough to get on this list, chances are a lot of effort went into getting them caught. I think a longer list would be to include people who fled but were eventually caught many years later.

The movie “catch me if you can” might be good movie for you, if you haven’t seen it.
