Yeah, that is true. Maybe he'll get off despite being guilty? :)

The smiley face makes it sound like you think that's a good outcome for fraud?

No, sorry.

I won't comment on his guilt/innocent. I don't know either way.

My smile is bemused/embarrassed that we've reached a point where he will go and stand trial in another country for an allegation of something that happened here, and whether he is found innocent or guilty won't really effect my opinion of him because my faith in the system is that low.

Oh, ok.

That makes more sense; thanks for the clarification.
