I'm not sure if that's how you spell it, but anyone have any updates on him? He was a Hasidic Jew from Montreal who defrauded banks around the world for over $2 million in about two years.

Yes I did find out a little more info about him several months back. Here's the thread:

I remember seeing that he was found in Israel and was sentenced to 7 years there. But he is still wanted in the US on fraud charges.

I hate how spike doesn't give the dates on any of these stories. From the episode, I can't tell when he was arrested in Israel, so I can't figure out when his 7 years in prison are up.

I'd like to know if he's been released. And will Israel participate in extraditing him to the US to face the charges against him here? Does Canada still have charges against him for the $2,000,000 in bank frauds he committed there?

And he must be an old guy by now...
