The Many Lives of Aubrey Lee Price
Charles Bethea of Atlanta Magazine profiles Aubrey Lee Price, a former pastor and banker who is now in jail on charges of fraud and embezzlement. According to authorities, beginning in the late 2000s, Price bought a majority share in the Montgomery Bank & Trust, raised millions of dollars from investors, lost much of the money, and then disappeared. Now, Price is writing a memoir, and Bethea reports that the story of his disappearance includes “in no particular order, a stint as a bag man for a Latin American cocaine kingpin, a vision quest atop a South American mountain, an almost obsessive devotion to fitness, a dependence on Adderall, and a collection of odd and occasionally endearing criminals and drug addicts with names like Kmart and Pico.”
