He didn’t use violence. He used wire transfers.
And in the end, Roda Abdulhassan Taher allegedly moved more than $94 million in stolen funds across the globe.

In this episode of Fugitive Files, we follow the trail of Roda Abdulhassan Taher, accused of orchestrating a massive, international money laundering scheme that preyed on elderly and vulnerable victims. Operating from Beirut, Lebanon, Taher allegedly funneled criminal proceeds through a web of global accounts — laundering millions through banks in Florida and beyond.

According to the FBI, his operation included conspiracy to commit bank fraud, 21 counts of money laundering, and 18 counts of conducting illegal transactions in criminally derived property. Despite a federal warrant issued in 2017, Taher remains at large.

He didn’t just disappear — he went global.

This is Fugitive Files. Let’s get into it.
