Don't let the shirt and tie fool you; Harold Rangel may not be the honest businessman he portrays. Not only has he been indicted for bribing a bank officer and falsifying bank records, but the 21-year-old is also under investigation for his alleged participation in a $35 million high yield investment and mortgage fraud conspiracy that targeted more than 600 Latino families in the Los Angeles area. But rather than stand trial for his bank fraud charges, Rangel apparently took the money and ran. He has now been charged federally with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution and failure to appear. He has ties to Pachuca, Mexico, and may be residing in Mexico.
