10 millionaire criminals who bought their freedom (+Photos)

7. John Gordon Abbot

Dubbed ”The Millionaire Murderer”, John Gordon Abbot is a criminal genius that was linked to the CIA and partook in a number of bank robberies. He is currently a prime suspect — along with two other men — for the murder of San Francisco-based actress Valerie McDonald. After being released from prison for another unrelated crime, he fled from Canada to his birth country of England. From there his trail went cold. Decades later, Investigate Magazine discovered that he was living in New Zealand, along with millions of dollars worth of property, which he had paid for in cash — the exact figure is unknown. When word got out he fled to Australia and subsequently returned to England. He is still at large.
