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.
