Florian Homm, the ex-hedge fund manager who spent five years in hiding before being captured in Italy’s Uffizi Gallery last March, may soon be coming to America.
On Friday, Italy’s highest court approved Homm’s extradition, despite his petition to be hospitalized for multiple sclerosis in Italy. The 6-foot, 6-inches tall, cigar-smoking German stands accused of defrauding his investors, causing $200 million in losses. He’s charged with four counts of conspiracy, wire fraud, and securities fraud, and faces up to 75 years behind bars.
