Fugitive Banker Who Faked Suicide Pleads Guilty in Fraud Scheme 
----------------------------------------------------------------


 
A fugitive bank director who faked his own suicide and vanished before
being discovered by authorities last year has pleaded guilty in a
multi-million-dollar fraud scheme. Aubrey Lee Price is accused of
embezzling money from a Georgia bank that later collapsed, and of lying
to clients as he lost tens of millions of dollars in risky transactions.
Price disappeared after leaving suicide notes and was declared legally
dead until he was arrested in a traffic stop. He faces up to 30 years in
prison.
