maybe weird answer but...

1. depending on overall comfort and freedom desires, you/he could have a look on crimes that happened and how they would be prosecuted, quit renting contracts or sell, tell police one of the crimes was actually you/him and for some month/years the bills will vanish. when living in one of the most shitty countries of the world, police and court might be fully ok if they enprison an innocent anyway and you/he could help someone safe his (bad) ass.
2. not the expected answer? maybe just find a flat where street lights shine in all night and quit the utility contracts (or just don't sign up) done: lights will stay on ;-)
3. maybe even better: help healing the world and help fixing politics and utility bills could vanish all over the world, all needed resources are ready available, it just needs a big fix of their distribution.

even though maybe weird, all of above ideas would work =D hope you/he choose no 3
