Many of these people are NOT in the US, e.g.:

Having contracted at a large financial institution on the East Coast, fraudulent Electronic Fund Transfers (EFTs) to former Soviet Eastern Block countries are "par for the course".
Many of those countries are a** backward - law enforcement doesn't either care or have the resources or sadly, principles. And of course US law enforcement agencies have no jurisdiction.
In addition there's likely a schadenfreude (glee in others' misery) factor, e.g., "Hey, it's the US, 'they' can afford it, they're rich."
