2000 Barber Dodge champ fugitive in eBay scam

Nilton Rossoni (50) was convicted in October of hauling in $717,000 from more than 5,500 eBay buyers, by creating at least 260 different auction accounts, and using dozens of e-mail addresses with Yahoo, Google and AOL, as well as nearly 60 private postal boxes.

Rossoni engineered the intricate online retail scheme with the help of his son, Nilton Joel Rossoni, 28, according to an indictment. The younger Rossoni is a former Brazilian race car driver who graduated with a business administration degree from the University of Miami in 2007. He is believed to be on the lam in his native Brazil.

From 2003-08, the father auctioned thousands of products, from horse saddles to rotisserie grills, without delivering anything to the winning bidders. Miami Herald
