"On 2/28/96 John Parigian D/O/B 8/22/53 uttered false checks to the Marblehead Savings Bank totaling over $28,000.00. Parigian was scheduled to report to federal custody as well. Parigian subsequently rented a private plane and disappeared. It is believed that Parigian could possibly be in the Massachusetts area under an assumed identity. Any department with any possible leads is urged to contact Det. Jon Lunt at the Marblehead Police Department at 781-631-1212 ext. 681 or at jlunt@marblehad.com."
Thoughts? The above case description was from the Massachusetts Most Wanted website. Parigian was aired on the June 20th, 2009 episode of America's Most Wanted. What is interesting to me is that 1996 complaint doesn't seem to be the first complaint against Parigian since I found an apparent civil suit from the SEC in 1986. I'm not a banker, so perhaps someone else can better figure out the details there, but according to it, Parigian allegedly cost a company 34 million dollars from losses in insider securities trading.
I should note the U.S. Marshals are also working this case, and I will post their wanted poster, so an alternative number to call would be 1-877-WANTED-2.
Parigian is in his early 60's currently. So far, he's proving elusive, and having money is of course part of the reason.
UPDATE: As of July 23rd, 2018, Parigian is still listed as a wanted fugitive on the U.S. Marshals and Massachusetts Most Wanted websites (see first two links below).
