Singapore is a lovely place, I'm sure. It has not a whit to do with the likelihood that Mr. Saverin will undoubtedly find it advantageous, at some point, to be present in the US, merely as evidenced by his past behavior.
If you'll look downthread, my guess is that he'll have zero problem re-entering the US when he should so desire.

Boo-hoo. If he doesn't want to pay US taxes on his billions then he can stay out.

The Facebook IPO does not enrich him personally until he is paid salary or sells his personal stock.

Excuse me, but as of March 2012 (prior to IPO), his net worth was $2 billion.
