Sure. But yet he just keeps piling up reasons to stay out of the US. If he's that scared of being subject to paying his debts, though, he can probably stretch Mexico or some other place out a very long time, longer than he can in the US. Now, if some judgment creditor were to go through the process of making the judgment enforceable/collectible in Mexico, I guess he'd be in a pickle - though I don't know how hard MX would go to collect on a judgment of this sort, or what they could do to collect on it. Given he doesn't work for anyone but himself, and could close bank accounts and live cash-only, not sure what could be done for actual collection.I'm pretty sure he can't just stay in Mexico endlessly and will be in some situation where he has to choose between being homeless in Mexico or back home.
I wonder - if he is not a permanent Mexico resident, could Rumble (if a US-based company) get a garnishment request through US collection efforts without having to deal with enforcement through Mexican enforcement of the US judgment, even if he resides in Mexico but is a US citizen? I'm sure there's a technical legal answer that at least gets to "probably," but I'm too tired for exhaustive research, and so I'm going to go with, "probably more expensive to try seriously to collect on a $5k judgment in this situation than the likely recovery amount, but he's in danger if/when he returns to the US."
