On October 13, 2017, Tilong was scheduled to be sentenced by the U.S. District Court in both the healthcare and tax fraud cases, but Tilong did not appear at his sentencing.

Thoughts? Glad to see the FBI is resuming putting new featured fugitive cases on their site. Medicare fraud has a lot of fugitive cases involved I've noticed and a lot of them tend to flee internationally.

(Note from site admin: At the time of HeadMarshal's posting date (6/14/2018), Tilong was still listed on the FBI's website as a wanted fugitive).
