????伊萬(wàn)?博伊斯基（證券內(nèi)幕交易案犯——譯注）通過(guò)和美國(guó)證券交易委員會(huì)（SEC）以及聯(lián)邦檢察官達(dá)成協(xié)議，沒(méi)有采取陷入法律糾紛的金融家們一貫使用的伎倆——逃到不會(huì)引渡美國(guó)逃犯的國(guó)家。當(dāng)年52歲的商品交易員馬克?里奇卻選擇先飛走，然后再努力處理爛攤子。作為美國(guó)歷史上最大的逃稅案，案犯里奇面臨65項(xiàng)刑事指控，可判處監(jiān)禁325年，他在國(guó)外可能有得待了。

????但他的逃亡生活不僅奢侈豐富，更賺得盆滿缽滿。和逃犯羅伯特?威斯科不同，里奇沒(méi)有把贓物不斷打點(diǎn)給加勒比海周圍的官員，也沒(méi)有在幾年后可憐地躲藏在古巴，反而在瑞士過(guò)著逍遙自在的生活。雖然他長(zhǎng)期回避美國(guó)媒體，但在11月，他和《財(cái)富》雜志（FORTUNE）人員聊了一天，這是他從紐約溜走后第一次接受非歐洲媒體的采訪。

????采訪當(dāng)天，他梳著平滑的大背頭，濃密的鬢角顯出臉部的消瘦，看上去一臉文雅的陰沉。在辦公室，他一支接一支地抽著進(jìn)口雪茄，灌著健怡可樂(lè)。里奇總部設(shè)在瑞士的Marc Rich & Co. AG已經(jīng)是全球最大的國(guó)際大宗商品交易公司之一。他說(shuō)公司在1985年的交易額高達(dá)120億美元，稅前利潤(rùn)超過(guò)1億美元，公司資本金達(dá)到9.5億美元。

????里奇在離蘇黎世15英里外如詩(shī)如畫(huà)的楚格州有一戶5居室的住所，屋內(nèi)布滿了珍貴的藝術(shù)品，而且他在圣莫里茨還擁有一間滑雪小木屋。他經(jīng)常光顧蘇黎士和盧塞恩的音樂(lè)會(huì)，美國(guó)妻子在歐洲流行樂(lè)壇也相當(dāng)出名。通過(guò)昂貴的公關(guān)和豪爽的慈善捐助，里奇在瑞士社會(huì)獲得了類似于尊敬的待遇。

????旅居海外對(duì)里奇來(lái)說(shuō)算不上新體驗(yàn)了。他出生于比利時(shí)的安特衛(wèi)普，8歲時(shí)隨父母來(lái)到美國(guó)。作為總部在紐約的菲利譜兄弟公司【Philipp Brothers，現(xiàn)為所羅門(mén)（Salomon Inc）的子公司】的新秀商品交易員，他還在西班牙住過(guò)14年。但他仍渴望回美國(guó)。“我非?？是竽軌蚧厝?，”他操著略帶歐洲口音的英語(yǔ)說(shuō)?！拔颐刻於荚谙肽蠲绹?guó)，我母親和岳父岳母都在那兒。這個(gè)國(guó)家曾經(jīng)慷慨地接納過(guò)我和父母。”（里奇父親去年在紐約逝世，由于聯(lián)邦特工會(huì)逮捕他，里奇未能出席葬禮，他感到十分悲痛。）

????為了尋求解決途徑，里奇聘用了一支頗具影響力的法律團(tuán)隊(duì)，由華盛頓超級(jí)律師愛(ài)德華?貝內(nèi)特?威廉姆斯領(lǐng)隊(duì)，成員包括尼克松時(shí)期白宮前特別法律顧問(wèn)倫納德?加門(mén)特，曾任艾森豪威爾政府內(nèi)閣秘書(shū)及羅納德?里根首次就職演講聯(lián)合主席的華盛頓公共關(guān)系顧問(wèn)羅伯特?格雷，他們都以預(yù)付費(fèi)用的方式參與。

????“我犯過(guò)錯(cuò)誤，”里奇說(shuō)。這話聽(tīng)起來(lái)像是要開(kāi)始悔悟?！拔蚁胛业拿u(yù)將永遠(yuǎn)不可能完全恢復(fù)。”這下才明確他是在說(shuō)法律策略。他爭(zhēng)辯說(shuō)自己真正的問(wèn)題是形象問(wèn)題?！叭藗冇每膳碌姆绞矫枥L我，”他說(shuō)?！鞍盐艺f(shuō)成是工作狂、不合群、賺錢(qián)機(jī)器。這不是我的真實(shí)形象。我是一個(gè)謙遜、平和的人，絕沒(méi)有做過(guò)任何違法的事。”有時(shí)候他扮演起受害者的角色：“在我身上發(fā)生的一連串不幸并沒(méi)有動(dòng)搖我對(duì)美國(guó)的信心?！?/p>

????美國(guó)司法部（Justice Department）可不吃他這套。在檢察官看來(lái)，里奇和他52歲的搭檔平卡斯?格林（綽號(hào)“粉爺”）是完完全全的逃犯。美國(guó)助理檢察官馬丁?奧爾巴赫稱，如果能逮到這倆被告，他們辦公室已經(jīng)準(zhǔn)備好上法庭。對(duì)美國(guó)當(dāng)局而言，里奇和格林并不亞于威斯科那樣的大罪犯。執(zhí)法官們?cè)O(shè)計(jì)了各種方案誘魚(yú)上鉤，試圖誘捕他們，特別是較為活躍的里奇。他幾次靠近誘餌，卻總在最后一刻溜走。（財(cái)富中文網(wǎng)）

????By striking a deal with the SEC and federal prosecutors, Ivan Boesky avoided the hoary tactic of financiers in legal trouble -- the quick flight to a country that will not extradite U.S. fugitives. Commodities trader Marc Rich, 52, fled first and tried to deal later. Facing a 65-count criminal indictment that could result in a 325-year prison term -- the biggest tax evasion case in U.S. history -- he may be abroad for a long time.

????His life on the lam is luxurious -- and lucrative. Unlike fugitive Robert Vesco, who is holed up less than splendidly in Cuba after years of spending his booty bribing various officials around the Caribbean, Rich is living grandly in Switzerland. Though he has long avoided the U.S. press, Rich spent a day talking to FORTUNE in November, his first interview with a non-European publication since he skipped out of New York.

????Today his slim face is framed by slicked-back hair and bushy sideburns, and he has an air of dour refinement. In his office he chain-smokes imported cigars and downs Diet Coke. Rich's Swiss-based international commodities trading company, Marc Rich & Co. AG, has become one of the biggest in the world. He says that the company earned more than $100 million before taxes on trading volume of $12 billion in 1985 and that its capital stands at $950 million.

????Rich has a five-bedroom house filled with valuable art in the picturesque village of Zug, 15 miles south of Zurich, and a ski chalet in St. Moritz. He is a regular at concerts in Zurich and Lucerne. His American wife has become a rather famous European pop-record star. Thanks to an expensive P.R. campaign and expansive charitable giving, Rich has achieved something resembling respect in Swiss society.

????Living abroad is not a new experience for him. Born in Antwerp, Rich came to the U.S. with his parents at age 8. As a rising young commodities trader for New York-based Philipp Brothers, now a subsidiary of Salomon Inc., he resided in Spain for 14 years. Still, returning to America has become an obsession. ''I want very badly to be able to go back,'' he says, speaking in a faintly European accent. ''I think about the U.S. every day. My mother is there and my in-laws. It's a generous country that accepted my parents and me.'' (When his father died in New York last September, Rich was pained not to attend the funeral. Federal agents would have arrested him.)

????To find some way out Rich has assembled an influential legal team headed by Washington superlawyer Edward Bennett Williams and including Leonard Garment, former special counsel on the Nixon White House staff. Robert Gray, the Washington public relations consultant who was secretary to the Cabinet in the Eisenhower Administration and co-chairman of Ronald Reagan's first inaugural, is on retainer.

????''I've made mistakes,'' Rich says, in what starts out sounding like contrition. ''I guess my reputation will never fully recover.'' Then it becomes clear he is talking about legal strategy. He argues that what he really has is an image problem. ''I've been portrayed in a horrible way,'' he says, ''as a workaholic, a loner, a money machine. It's not a true picture. I'm a modest, quiet person who has never done anything illegal.'' Sometimes he portrays himself as victim: ''What happened to me was an unfortunate chain of events that hasn't shaken my faith in the U.S.''

????The Justice Department isn't buying any of that. In the prosecutors' view, Rich and partner Pincus ''Pinky'' Green, 52, are simply fugitives. Assistant U.S. Attorney Martin Auerbach says his office is ready to go to trial if it can get its hands on the defendants. For U.S. authorities, Rich and Green are Vesco-size targets. Marshals have designed tantalizing schemes to nab them, especially Rich, who is the more active of the two. Rich has neared the bait several times, only to slip away at the last moment.
