Police and the FBI are searching for a fugitive from Salisbury who has been on the run since Friday.
John Knox Bridges was supposed to appear in Federal Court for sentencing Friday, but didn't show up.
Bridges pled guilty to a Ponzi scheme last year that included taking money from the North Carolina Museum Foundation.
He took millions of dollars from the foundation and several other victims.
A federal judge issued a warrant for his arrest Friday.
Authorities said he convinced people to invest in a phony oil company in Texas to steal more than $2 million.
Police said Bridges was last seen leaving his house Friday by a family member.
Police said he left in a 2004 charcoal gray Volvo station wagon.
Police ask anyone with more information on this case to call them.
