re: #59 bofhell
There was apparently a plea deal in place. He agreed to plead guilty to a lesser included charge. And he still fled the country to avoid the prison sentence.
Now, he faces not only the sentence on the original crime, but additional charges for fleeing the country.
In a not entirely unrelated note, Norman Hsu is being sentenced today in NY for his role in setting up his own Ponzi scheme. Hsu was the Democrat fundraiser connected with everyone from Hillary on down. He had run from serving time in California, and no one seemed to notice his criminal background as he became a Democrat bigwig, engaging in crimes all the while.
