What the hell, why not grab the brass ring, can't run for reelection.
Cash can be camouflaged, buy a used car from a relative for 3 million dollars, buy an island and sell it to him/her for a dollar after leaving office, or bury valuable shit on his/her property to be found.
Many of them go to work as lobbyists or employees of companies they supported after leaving anyway.
