So imagine this:

you owe X amount of money, and fleeing the country makes it vanish

Or you accidentally are given X amount of money, and fleeing the country is only way to keep it

Hey mate that's ok, the question only makes sense when you line in a particular country.

No, but the expected solution only makes sense if you live in that particular country.

That said, your debt would follow you if you register in any other European country. Not registering and hiding from authorities could be done within any country, even the US.

So while the Europeans think it's easy to move countries, they forgot that the premise is that they have to hide from their debt.
