"Russia, Libya, Iran, or one of the other 90-odd countries that don't have extradition treaties with the United States. The U.S. has signed bilateral treaties with more than 100 countries, from the Bahamas to Israel to Zimbabwe, pledging that a fugitive will be sent back to the country where he committed a crime, plus numerous multilateral agreements promising to cooperate in fighting terrorism and the drug trade. Unfortunately for fugitives, that means most of the developed world is off-limits. If you want to be totally safe, you'll have to go somewhere no one really wants to be—or that isn't on friendly terms with Uncle Sam."

Well, looks like most of the Persian Gulf countries and some African nations do not have signed bilateral treaties with the United States...Madagascar might not be a bad place to spend your retirement...if you like nature. You can also hide in Dubai and live extragavantly if you have money.
Which country do you think you can spend the rest of your life in hiding?
