One of my closest friends who is American and his wife who is from one of the Slavic countries in the European Union were hit hard by the recession. Both are college educated, lost their jobs, could not find work, and were struggling hard. Well about five months back they said they lost all faith in the US and its government and were leaving to go live in her country at a small home her parents gave them. They sold off all their assets, cashed in their stocks, IRA’s, and savings.

What caught me off guard was he told me they had around $15,000 line of unused credit on various credit cards. They used those credit cards to buy their tickets to her country, new cloths, laptops, various other items they would need, and shipped them over even using the credit cards to pay for shipping. They made about four months worth of payments and then just left the country.

He also left about $30-40k worth of student loans behind and said he never has any intention of paying off those credit cards or student loans and doesn’t plan on letting any of the credit/student loan agencies knowing were he is. Last I heard from him he said there is nothing they can do to him since he is over seas and never plans to return to the US.

Is this true? Sounds like possible fraud to me.
