As of July 18, former Taupa Lithuanian Credit Union CEO Alex Spirikaitis was still at large after a police came up empty after standoff at his suburban Cleveland home. Authorities turned to the public, asking for assistance in his capture.

"We are really making a plea to the public to look at his picture and if they see him or have any idea as to his whereabouts, to give us a call," FBI Special Agent Vicki Anderson told Credit Union Times. The FBI has released Spirikaitis' driver's license photo in an attempt to apprehend him.

Local police thought they were in a standoff with Spirikaitis the evening of July 16 after arriving at his home to arrest him at around 8 p.m. However, when authorities entered the home the next morning, he was not there.
