I believe he spent the year to 18 months, on the lam, in the United States. The federal judge, as part of releasing him on bail prior to sentencing, had required him and the other convicted defendants to give up their passports. He was also required to wear an electronic ankle bracelet which he was able to remove (somehow) right before he fled. Apparently during the time he was wanted by the authorities, he was spotted in several locations around the country but managed to stay one step ahead of the Feds. It was a fascinating story and I'm surprised no one ever wrote a comprehensive book about the whole caper.
After serving his 24-year sentence in federal prison, the defendant did write a book about his personal failures.

Well, maybe not in the same league as Madoff or Belfort or some of the other Wall Street crooks, but, I believe, at the time, it was the largest case of criminal fraud involving a federal credit union in the history of the country. The case received a tremendous amount of publicity in Boston and Massachusetts in the early 90's. Definitely an interesting and prominent cast of characters who were involved in the fraud. Unfortunately, the lawyer I worked for (who had been a very successful lawyer and basically at the tail end of his legal career) got caught up in the scandal and was disbarred and sentenced to 10 years in federal prison.

Good morning
Yuck. Packing up to head home from the beach. Had a great time with the granddaughters. I am not looking forward to making up missed work next week.
