I think I saw him selling counterfeit "coach bags" at the souk on Broadway & 28th street.

Hey! I'm "David Clapp"! This bastard better stay as far away from my camper as possible. I'm liable to 'pump n' dump' him with a load of buckshot!

You want the girlfriend out of jail so you can tail her and tap her phones to see if she contacts the guy they're looking for. She's so stupid she just might do it and give him away even more than she already has.

#6, why should a white collar criminal be given the time to get their 'affairs in order' when other criminals are not? The system does not 'work well', as you say. If it did, this guy would be in jail and this wouldn't be a story.

Duh, #1, because the vast, vast majority do not flee, and need the time to get their affairs in order. You want to change a system that works well and is just because of one fool's gambit?

And why did they release the girlfriend on bond? I'd say she's a proven flight risk...

white collar criminals aren't treated the same as the rest of us.

One wonders whether the U.S. Marshals and the DOJ will rethink allowing convicted felons to just "report" to prison. This obviously could have been avoided had Israel been taken into custody immediately after his conviction and/or sentencing.
