P.B. Gomez @pbgomez_ If real, this almost certainly actually worked because China and the US have no extradition treaty and it's so petty (at least from the Chinese government's view) that nobody would bother spending any resources anyway to go after this guy.

HotEntertainment2825 1d ago I really wanna see how this plays out. Reply ↑ Share > 10K No-Sense-6260 1d ago Nothing will come of it. People do this all the time, the credit card companies just take the hit. His credit is ruined in America but if he doesn't come back it doesn't really affect him anywhere else. It technically is not illegal to default on your debts. 8.6K sarayewo • Reply ↑ Share 1d ago And to add a bit more clarity, he's even fine to come visit again - he won't be denied entry or a visa b/c of CC debt. And it's likely that CC companies will write off the debt in 5 years and it will drop off of his credit report in 7 so even if he moves back further down the road it will be water under the bridge. ☹ 4.4K Reply ↑ Share SpillingHotCoffee . 1d ago Edited 14h ago Debt leaves after 7 years? What? --> students loans cannot be taken care of this way... But could I pay my whole student loan on a CC and default on that payment? Theoretically. I'm married and could just mooch off my spouse, so long as his credit isn't impacted. I could just pay him rent from my paycheck? What could go wrong with an uncollareralized loan?? I seriously know very little about finances. I raised my credit score from 600 to 700 with major help from people smarter than me. The only loans in my name are for my student loans and my car.
