Fugitive accountant extradited

Intro:
 
Marc Harris, a former Miami Beach accountant accused through the years of bilking millions from clients and aiding U.S. tax evaders, was brought before a federal judge in Miami on Wednesday after being expelled from Nicaragua.

Harris had eluded prosecutors and angry customers for 13 years.

 
 
Excerpt: ''He looked, in my opinion, dazed,'' said David Marchant, who publishes Offshore Alert, a money-laundering investigative newsletter.

Marchant once published a lengthy investigation on Harris, calling his operation ''one of the biggest offshore scams of all times'' and reported some 34 clients had sued him, demanding almost $8 million.

Marchant was sued for libel by Harris. But Harris -- who never actually came to the United States during the trial -- lost the case.
