whoa -KFProsecutors had argued that Jeremy Jaynes of Raleigh is too great a flight risk to be allowed bail, saying he's been squirreling away parts of his $24 million fortune in foreign bank accounts and faces up to nine years in prison. "This defendant has gotten away with too much for too long," said Assistant Attorney General Russell McGuire. "We're concerned we'll never see this defendant again." The 30-year-old Jaynes, who was jailed over the weekend following his conviction on Wednesday, appeared in court Monday in an orange jail jumpsuit and leg irons. He had not posted bail as of Monday afternoon.
