CASTING INTO THE COVERTS
Securities Fraud and the Fox Hunt for Robert Vesco
Patrick Zurita
Abstract
This paper is a study of substantive criminal liability for
violating Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934. Additionally, the paper focuses on Robert Vesco,
who was implicated for securities fraud during the 1970s.
The paper tracks the civil litigation brought against Vesco
as it mirrors likely criminal prosecution against him.
Further, the paper follows a firsthand account of Ralph
Zurita, a US Marshal, tasked with capturing Vesco after
Vesco fled the United States in the mid-19 70s.
