you might add to the flight risk that he apparently had a foreign passport, that it appears that much of his money is in a Canadian brokerage and out of reach of the US without complex proceedings but freely available to him if he left the country (if it were in the US we could freeze it. But not in Canada), that he apparently had or was acquiring property in Lebanon and had transferred substantial funds there, and that his house here was apparently already seized or up for grabs, so he had nothing to lose there by leaving. Plus noting that since his activies are mostly carried out over the internet he could go to any almost any country and set up shop there all over again, doing just what he had been doing, and thumb his nose at the US law.

I would say the judge was quite right to find him a flight risk, frankly.
