Man who claimed a stake in Facebook allegedly escapes ankle bracelet and flees

WELLSVILLE, N.Y. — Paul Ceglia, the man facing charges for fraudulently claiming an ownership stake in Facebook, escaped his electronic ankle bracelet and fled by using a motorized contraption that simulated human movements, prosecutors said this week. Now Ceglia's wife and children have also been reported missing.

State police say Iasia Ceglia and her two sons, 10-year-old Leeman and 11-year-old Joseffinn, were reported missing on Tuesday. That's the same day a federal judge revoked bail for Paul Ceglia. Troopers say it's unknown whether his wife and boys are with Ceglia.
