(KMJ) – The United States Marshals Service continue to search for an inmate who disappeared this week from the Atwater Prison’s Satellite Camp.
55-year old Frederick Darren Berg (pictured above) was jailed following the biggest fraud in Washington state history. Wednesday, Federal officials say he disappeared from the federal facility where he was serving an 18-year prison term imposed in 2012.
Berg stole about $120 million from investors through a Ponzi scheme that enabled him to live a life of luxury. As part of his sentence, he was ordered to pay more than $140 million in restitution.
Berg has more than 10 years left on his sentence.
Bureau of Prisons and U.S. Marshals Service investigators are now asking anyone with information on his whereabouts to contact the Marshals Service at 559-487-5600.
