I think the FBI might be fixing to put this Roy McGrath guy on the top ten list. I personally would disagree with it- not because I condone financial crimes- but because I don't consider him dangerous enough to qualify as opposed to killers who may strike again. I've stated I run this forum because I was a fan of AMW and John Walsh shows and I'm good at discussing fugitives- but I've never pretended to be a tough guy like John Walsh actually is- I probably haven't won a fight since third grade against a girl (just kidding about the girl part)- but I take one look at that Roy McGrath photo and I'm like "even I can kick his ass".
However the list isn't always the worst of the worst but who would stand out and likely be caught via public tips- and the whole former chief of staff to a popular Governor and not showing up in trial and possible international manhunt makes for an interesting story that may draw viewers of the list. Ruja Ignatova I personally disagreed with but with the female fugitive and bitcoin aspect I do admit she stands out.
Also McGrath is a guy trying to avoid prison for the rest of his life, so I feel he should be considered possibly armed and dangerous regardless.

Roy McGrath has been in the news, but it’s not like it’s this widely publicized manhunt, so for that reason he may be added to put his name and face out there in hopes the public can help catch him.
As much as I disagree with his possible addition as I think a murder fugitive, or child sex crimes fugitive would be a better fit, but this is in a way a breaking news case, the FBI has 3 vacancies on the Top Ten List, and McGrath would probably be caught quickly or he would end up turning himself in not long after being added, thus possibly being back at 3 vacancies.

There's another reason the FBI may want to consider him as a candidate: He was born in Greece, and so he may have fled there.

Browsing the FBI website image feeds for 2023 has revealed a placeholder url for the next Ten Most Wanted fugitive. I won’t mention the fugitive’s name but I checked and saw it is yet another foreign based drug trafficking fugitive out of Latin America.
This is why I’ve really stopped following the FBI’s MW list and primarily care about the US Marshalls’s MW list.

I'm crossing my fingers for an error since I'm tired of this list being ran like we're in 1986.

I'm crossing my fingers for an error since I'm tired of this list being ran like we're in 1986. I don't know if it's a coincidence that Christopher Asher-Wray's part of the Federalist Society, but under him, there *has* been a lot more drug war hawkery on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted. Unless publicity from the list is truly flipping the manhunts for those drug lords which only military-style operations can finish the job on, why doesn't Asher-Wray lay it off? P.S. I wasn't alive back in '985 or '986, so I don't know as much about the political and criminological climate of the time. |

Just that the 80s were known as the war on drugs era which lead to many mostly minorities going to jail for decades for low level drug crimes.
It's not that drugs aren't an issue, an American fentanyl dealer on the list I'd be all for. But they keep adding international drug cocaine kingpins that are like 80s movie poor man's Pablo Escobars that will be caught via military operations, the list should be for people the public can help catch.

This is why I’ve really stopped following the FBI’s MW list and primarily care about the US Marshalls’s MW list. I was hoping that the addition of Pratt, was a sign that the list was going in a different direction, but apparently not. I want to know who this individual is and why the FBI feels the need to add this person if they are going to be added. If true I really hope the FBI makes up for it in filling the last 2 slots with non drug traffickers like a murderer and a child molester. This whole adding drug traffickers isn’t okay anymore, I get Caro-Quintero and it was okay when it was only him, but to have 3 currently on the list as we speak is just plain ridiculous. There hasn’t been a child murderer on the list in years and a full on child molestor since Walter Williams. |

So much for Roy McGrath. In my defense considering the takedown I meant I didn't consider him dangerous in terms of to others around him physically in normal everyday interactions (not someone likely to murder someone or something for no reason). I did also say he was possibly armed when it came to trying to avoid prison lol.

I really feel over the past decade that there has been a shift away from domestic fugitives. There are some genuinely dangerous people out there who are wanted and there’s no evidence they fled U.S. jurisdiction.

That's my exact problem with the direction of the list lately.

With that possible addition I disagree with aside, I do want to also stress I only get annoyed with the top ten list not adding someone when it's over a year. With 3 names to replace, I will give it shouldn't take that long to add just one name, but it's a process and I'm not too worried about it. I've stressed we need to care about cases besides the top ten list and we've been doing a good job I think. But yeah the only time I was truly annoyed was when it took over a year to replace Yaser Said. Otherwise people need to exercise patience and realize there's more than ten (or 25 if you also count the usms list) fugitives in America.

I want to offer a possible bright side to a crap situation on the Top Ten List, but I really hope the FBI isn’t planning on adding this known individual to the list in the near future and hope they’re doing what they did in 2017.
Now many of you are probably wondering what happened in 2017?, well according to the FBI Feeds image listings, which I figured out how to use, Rafael Caro-Quintero’s photos were uploaded around the time Bhadreshkumar Patel was added to the list, which means possibly RCQ would’ve been added weeks after Patel, during the spring of 2017 (a year earlier than he was actually added), replacing Robert Van Wisse, had James Comey not been fired. Or the U.S. Government was planning all along to add Caro-Quintero eventually and had a poster for him ready when the time came.
I hope this means they’re waiting long term (years) to add this potential top ten fugitive because either the FBI currently feels confident in adding this possible person as they may have a current top ten fugitive in their sights or they’re going to replace the 3 vacancies with totally different cases of which in at least 1 instance they’re already onto, or the best case scenario, it’s a mistake on the FBI’s part
