Convicted Con Artist Flees Sentencing in Santa Clara County

Authorities seek public assistance in locating Dennis Fountaine, who defrauded investors of $350,000 with fake tech schemes.

Dennis Fountaine, 67, failed to appear for his sentencing on August 5 for grand theft by fraud.
Fountaine scammed investors with a fake medical robot named Homer, claiming it could dispense medications.
He has a history of creating fake companies and websites to solicit investments for non-existent products.
Authorities believe he continued his fraudulent activities even after his conviction earlier this year.
The public is urged to contact Santa Clara County investigators with any information on Fountaine's whereabouts.
