A Georgia banker by the name Aubrey Lee Price, 47,wanted by the FBI for a $21 million investor fraud was finally captured when cops stopped him for illegally tinted car windows, The New York Daily News reports.

He went on the run in 2012 after writing friends a purported suicide note admitting to "horrendous financial mistakes" and saying "it would be better for me to exit this world."

Luck ran out on him as he was ultimately caught in Brunswick, Ga. after cops pulled him over and realized who he was after just a little questioning, the Daily News reported.


According to reports a federal warrant was put out for Price's arrest in New York in June 2012 after he was charged with wire fraud. Price was also hit with a civil action by the SEC that year claiming he perpetrated a massive fraud through two investor funds which ultimately suffered massive losses with frequent large wires transferred out of the account while he was the director of the Montgomery Bank & Trust in Ailey, Ga.
