   From what I have read, I believe this seems to be the   
   case.   
      
   I do not know anything about French Law, but arresting *and*   
   prosecuting someone as rich as he is in the US would not be   
   done unless they are 100% sure they get a conviction without   
   allowing appeals.   
      
   A person as rich as he is would be able to spend the Gov   
   Entity into "bankruptcy".
