A man who was convicted in a $350,000,000 bank fraud scheme and has eluded capture for more than two decades may have attended a game at Dodger Stadium in 2016, US Marshals Service says.
Ruffo was indicted on 160 counts of bank fraud and money laundering. Several members of his family offered up their homes as collateral to pay his $10 million bond.
An investigation revealed that on the day he disappeared, Ruffo drove a car he is thought to have rented earlier that day in Manhattan. The car was found at the long-term parking lot at John F. Kennedy International Airport, the Marshals Service said. Investigators hope to identify the man in the blue shirt seen in Section 1 Dugout Club, Row EE, Seat 10 at a Los Angeles Dodgers game on Aug. 5, 2016.. By then, Ruffo had been on the run for 20 years. He left a trail of wreckage, including financially wiping out former business partners and family members, among them his wife and his mother."I want to face him," she said."I want to tell him how bad he hurt his mother and everybody else.
Ruffo is known to have extensive international connections through his time as a businessman in New York. He had previously traveled to Aruba and was known to show particular interest in Italy.
