'but they're also realizing that the government can (and likely will) come for them next'. - Came here to say that.

Just thinking - If I was a business I'd RUN from NY state as fast as I can. They will chip away at the business until there's nothing left. Never forget they tried to take Trump properties

If I was the 'average guy' I'd leave too for my family's sake. Considering victims are jailed but criminals freed. I actually know someone charged with a crime they didnt commit because the other side has family that works for the judge.

Its not meant to just walk away and hide, but leave them the results of their actions.
