A colorful Chicago businessman on parole in a $10 million fraud case failed to report to prison late last month for parole violations and is now a federal fugitive, court records show.
Lee Anglin, 50, was freed in 2018 after serving about a dozen years in prison for running a real estate scam in the mid-2000s. His early investors got paid with money put in by later investors who were left with nothing, prosecutors said. The feds said Anglin bilked more than $10 million from his investors but he put their losses at about half that amount. Related
Anglin, in a wide-ranging interview with the Chicago Sun-Times in 2018, described his past as a debt collector for loansharks, a politically connected newspaper publisher, and a restaurant and bar owner in business with the Chicago Outfit.
