Fugitive lawyer says he's fled the US using fake passport
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Jun 25, 2017, 10:05 PM ET
A fugitive Kentucky lawyer at the center of a nearly $600 million Social Security fraud case has fled the country using a fake passport and has gotten help from someone overseas with a job to help support himself.
The flamboyant disability lawyer Eric Conn, in an email exchange with The Lexington Herald-Leader over the weekend, told the paper he flew to a country that does not have an extradition agreement with the U.S.
The paper reported Sunday that it tried to verify Conn's identity by asking him questions that only he could answer, including his Social Security number, which it obtained from court documents, and details about one of his marriages. He answered correctly, the paper said.
Scott White, Conn's attorney, said that he also received emails that originated from the same address and from a person he believed to be Conn.
