The Paul Ceglia story continues to become more puzzling by the minute, as Bloomberg reported that the self-proclaimed co-owner of Facebook evaded federal monitoring by attaching his electronic ankle bracelet to a “hand-made contraption” that simulated movement.
Representatives from the U.S. Marshals Service discovered the device upon entering Ceglia’s home in Wellsville, N.Y., this past Sunday. His trial on fraud charges is set to begin May 4.
