    I can believe it, people have genuinely thought they were being given a credit card with a limit, and the balance was free money.

    I’d love to see someone max out a bunch of cards and just leave the country though.

      The amount you would get away with would just not be worth ending your life in that country.

        If you have stronger credit and want to leave anyway, I think it’d be dumb not to take advantage of it.

          It depends on which country you plan on going to. It’s not impossible for debts to chase you across borders, even if they can’t make you pay, they can still trash your credit rating.

          Idk, you might want to return one day. And trust me they don’t forget

            Ah yeah they do forget, after a decade or two.

            You’re not going to jail for non-payment.

          It’s still not worth it I think, but it’s probably been done a fair amount of times

      Doesn’t take debt to want to leave the US.

      I know a dude that did that. Left till his 7yrs (or whatever) ran out and came back debt free.
