Thoughts? The FBI appears to have added Roda to their featured fugitives website yesterday afternoon so as of August 20, 2018, he is still at large.
Even though Roda was operating out of Lebanon while allegedly masterminding the money laundering organization, he was born in Los Angeles, California so there may be some more flexibility with extradition than in other, similar cases.
