The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on Thursday released a new list of the top 10 most wanted fraudsters in America. The individuals are wanted in connection with multibillion-dollar fraud cases.

In a statement on Thursday, the FBI “announced the launch of its Most Wanted Fraudsters List, a new wanted list dedicated to publicly identifying individuals charged with defrauding the American people.”

The released list included Herbert Kimble, who is wanted for healthcare fraud of $1.2 billion, and Michael Lizaso Marasigan, who is wanted for conspiracy to operate an illegal gambling business involving $34 million.

Rodney Dean Allen is wanted for wire fraud of $7.3 million; Christopher Burns is wanted for mail fraud involving $10 million; John Michael Dimitrion is wanted for mortgage fraud of $1.3 million, while Julieanne Baldueza Dimitrion is also wanted for mortgage fraud of $1.3 million.

Said Abdullahi Ereg is wanted for wire fraud and money laundering involving $4.2 million, while Elaine Angene Escoe is wanted for wire fraud and money laundering involving $32 million.

The FBI also offers a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the deaths of longtime friends Carnell E. Sledge and Katherine C. Brown.

Kash Patel, FBI Director, at a press conference on Thursday said, “I want all Americans to take a look at these most wanted individuals and look at the amounts, the tens of millions and billions of dollars in fraud, that they have decimated our societies from.”
