Banker Who Faked His Own Death to Escape Embezzlement Charges Arrested at Traffic Stop

It’s always the little stuff that gets you.
A man pulled over in Brunswick, Georgia this week for a window tint violation was revealed to be Aubrey Lee Price, a banker who was charged in the summer of 2012 with wire fraud after he embezzled up to $21 million in various investment schemes.
Price, who was last seen boarding a ferry in Key West, Florida, from which he supposedly jumped overboard, had been declared dead in 2012.
The traffic cops’ suspicions were raised when Price presented multiple and conflicting forms of identification. When informed that he would remain in jail until a positive identification was made, he broke down and confessed.
“He said, ‘Sit down. I’m going to make you famous,’“ the officer recounted. “He was tired. I reckon he was ready to get caught.”
Price faces up to 30 years in prison, plus time for the tinted windows.
