A Rhode Island fugitive who disappeared during his 2005 rape trial allegedly spent the next 21 years living under a false identity as a Los Angeles biotech executive before authorities finally caught up with him. Ronald Fischer, who prosecutors say fled while on trial for raping a woman aboard a yacht in 2003, was arrested last week after federal authorities intercepted his yacht off the coast of New Jersey. Investigators say Fischer, 70, had been living as “Richard Graydon,” building a successful career in the biotech industry while owning a 56-foot yacht and cultivating a reputation as a world traveler and accomplished yachtsman. According to an SEC filing, West Los Angeles-based Immix Biopharma terminated the employment of Richard Graydon on July 17, shortly after Fischer’s arrest, saying the decision was unrelated to his work at the company. The revelation has prompted scrutiny of the firm’s hiring practices, while a law firm representing investors says it has opened an inquiry into whether the company or its leadership violated federal securities laws.
