If I remember correctly, Saverin was born and grew up in Brazil.  He lived in the US for a bit while going to school (which is when he gained his citizenship), but has lived in Singapore most of the time afterwards.

He has a choice where to live and which citizenship to hold.  Why would you care one way or the other whether he renounces his US citizenship?  It sounds to me like the decision is his and he will deal with the repercussions if there are any.
