Robert Vesco: Fugitive from US justice for 35 years
The 20th century has seen its share of fraudsters, scam artists and financial thugs, but few with the swagger of Robert Vesco. By the time he was 30 he was a multi-millionaire, before he was 37 he had looted a global mutual fund and tried to bribe an incumbent American president with a suitcase stuffed with $100 bills. True, this rogue capitalist spent the last three and a half decades of his life on the run, before dying in seedy obscurity in one of the last remaining Communist states on earth. Somehow though, the glamour and the mystery never quite rubbed off.
