Paul D. Ceglia, who was taken into custody in 2012 for defrauding Facebook by claiming that he owned half the company, is a fugitive, a report said.
Judge Vernon S. Broderick revoked Ceglia's bail on Tuesday after he failed to appear for a pretrial conference on the same day, reported PC World.
Violating the conditions of his bail, Ceglia cut off his electronic monitoring bracelet around last Friday and left home, court papers said. By doing so, he forfeited a $250,000 personal bond.
Ceglia had claimed in a 2010 lawsuit that he was entitled to own half the Facebook under a 2003 agreement with Mark Zuckerberg, who had done programming work for Ceglia's StreetFax.com.
