For some reason I had assumed he had been in custody/ was cooperating with police. Kinda silly to get missing with that much money when your identity is plainly known, you would be a marked man for the rest of your days. Also, silly to run if the reason for Cryptays failure was legitimate, and not just an excuse to shift liability.
