Angelo Haligiannis is a colorful characters. He, until recently, was also a fugitive, on the run from fraud charges in New York state. Of course, for Haligiannis, on the run included more yachts, cocktails and fancy hotels than your average fugitive.

The former president of hedge fund Sterling Watters, Haligiannis had been arrested just recently by Greek authorities, only to be released prior to extradition to the U.S. Haligiannis was picked up again this week in Greece while passing through a tollbooth. We'll see if he makes it back to the U.S. this time.
