money launderer on the run?

I see that New York “money manager to the stars” was arrested yesterday in Las Vegas for violating bail. Dana Giachetto is charged with theft of $6,000,000 and misappropriation of $20,000,000.
When arrested he had $4,000 in $5 and $10 bills, around 80 airline tickets worth about $44,000 and first class airline tickets to Rome for himself and his girlfriend. (Authorities found him "with the help of his girlfriend.)

The daily newspaper has broadened my knowledge today. I hadn’t thought of carrying a thick wad of airline tickets convertible to cash in order to get around the heat that carrying large quantities of cash generates.

Oh yeah, he was also carrying an expired passport altered to appear valid.
