Marc Rich, the billionaire financier infamously pardoned by Bill Clinton, says he’s never returning to the United States. Rich fled to Switzerland in the 1980s after charges of tax evasion and claims it’s still not safe to set foot in this country. U.S. authorities “would look for some excuse to apprehend me,” Rich says in a new book by journalist Daniel Ammann. “They might still have an unpaid parking ticket of mine from 30 years ago.” Hmmm … fugitive in exile, Swiss authorities — maybe he should visit Roman Polanski at his undisclosed location?
