One of Rhode Island's most-wanted fugitives was arrested in New York last week after being on the run for more than 20 years, which was at least partially spent hiding as a biotech executive, according to Stat News .
In a Securities and Exchange Commission filing Monday, California-based Immix Biopharma noted that Richard Graydon was terminated Friday for " reasons unrelated to his activities at the Company ."
That followed a similar incident in 1994, in which he was accused of raping another woman on another of his yachts, The Dreammaker . In that case, he ultimately pled guilty to assault and battery and received a two-year prison sentence that was suspended, according to the Boston Globe . At that point, his medical licenses were revoked.
Days before closing arguments for his 2005 trial, he sent his lawyer an email with the subject line “Goodbye,” according to the Providence Journal .
