Aubrey Lee Price is wanted in connection with a multi-million dollar investment scheme in New York. Between January of 2011 and June of 2012, and while he was a director of a southern Georgia bank, Price is alleged to have caused approximately $21 million of money belonging to a subsidiary of the bank to be sent to certain securities accounts. Price then allegedly falsely represented the account balances in the securities accounts to conceal his theft of bank funds or his trading losses. A federal arrest warrant was issued for Price in the United States District Court, Eastern District of New York, Brooklyn, New York, on June 28, 2012, after he was charged with wire fraud.
Price disappeared after telling acquaintances that he had lost a large amount of money through trading activities, and that he planned to kill himself. He was last seen boarding a ferry boat in Key West, Florida, bound for Fort Myers, Florida, on June 16, 2012. At the time, he was wearing a white t-shirt, tan shorts, a white baseball cap, and light-colored sneakers.
