You wonder also, if he could have pulled off the 'fake his death and go to the Bahamas' plan Roy was working with his kid, in the time leading up to his death (outlined in Sins of my Father, I believe)

With all the indictments soon to come down, he wouldn't have had many folks to bother searching for him, or killing his family, etc.

I bet he could have been successful, but we will never know...
