Sources close to Blackwater and its secretive owner Erik Prince claim that the embattled head of the world's most infamous mercenary firm is planning to move to the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

The Middle Eastern nation, a major hub for the US war industry, has no extradition treaty with the United States.

In April, five of Prince's top deputies were hit with a fifteen-count indictment by a federal grand jury on conspiracy, weapons and obstruction of justice charges.

That's certainly plausible. It reminds me of http://abcnews.go.com/WNT/Business/story?id=2942429&page=1

Yep, I remember when Halliburton, which makes all of it's money from our military, moved their headquarters out of the country to avoid paying taxes to the country which supports them even after they got no-bid contracts.
