People who go missing voluntarily do so for a reason. So do people who fake their own disappearance, which is most often financially inspired.
In today’s global e-commerce economy, there are highly qualified professionals adept at transferring funds that cannot be traced or recovered.
A well-timed, cashed-up exit is rarely opportunistic; it is planned around past experience and future ambitions.

There is no law against faking your own demise.

Police generally lack the resources or appetite to chase relatively low amounts across multi-jurisdictions with complex legal frameworks.
Even if they did, there would be extensive queues. Private Investigators are engaged to locate people and/or funds, tracing assets and
compiling the information a corporation needs to recover cash or property and brief police where appropriate.

Issues to Consider

• Legal risk: Don’t do it unless you are prepared to be treated as an international criminal. If you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime.
• Relatives & friends: Expect anger and alienation if people discover you are not deceased.
• Location: Don’t use the sea, rivers or lakes to stage a demise. 97% of drowning victims’ bodies are discovered washed up or floating.
• “Best” location claim: Many who are never found reportedly go missing while hiking, cycling or after leaving a broken-down vehicle in bush, mountains or desert. Be careful—plans can turn into real harm.
• Goodbye: Be prepared to sever past activities and interests, including appearance, preferences and lifestyle.
• Accommodation: Consider whether there are sufficient funds for modest accommodation, utilities and transport for the first two years.
• Pursuit: If enough money is involved, someone will hire an investigator to track you—even years later.
