The first fugitive on the list blended some motor oil and evaded Texas taxes. Other things that got people on this ignominious list are lying about waste oil management aboard a ship and importing cars that don't meet emission standards. Most people on the list seem to be foreigners by their name and suspected locations. Are they serious?
Here is a screen capture of the entire list from EPA's Fugitive Website.

The guy smuggling freon is kind of a hero to me as I have roasted in a hot tractor cab that needed just one can of black market freon.
I will tell you the EPA takes their list pretty seriously, my neighbor who reportedly spent time in jail for not getting the endcap on his manure pipeline would back that up.
(Well it really did make a terrible mess-but jail time?)
