...just another Saturday night on the lam for Frankel and Allison, who for nearly two months had been shacked up here on the banks of Lake Alster in Hamburg, Germany. They had just pushed aside the remains of room-service dinners, the halibut lingering on trays in the suite's living room. On the floor next to Frankel's bed was a black suitcase that contained nearly $2 million in diamonds and about $250,000 in U.S. currency. The case never left his side...

Extradition is expected to take several months. After flying to Rome in May, Frankel vanished. At one point, a report had him in Brazil. Mona Kim, his office manager and a companion in the early part of his journey, told CNN that there was no high living...
