At the time of his arrest, he had been a fugitive from the law for five weeks, and had been rumored either to have sought and bought refuge in Latin America or to have been murdered by the very people he was said to have swindled, on the theory that, if caught, he might reveal their identities.}}</ref> I 1989 stakk han til Miami fra Italia etter å blitt løslatt mot kausjon.
