A Bainbridge Island man and the former CEO of S-Ray Inc. is wanted by the FBI, according to Attorney Tessa M. Gorman.

Stephen Baird, a Bainbridge Island man and the former CEO of S-Ray Inc. is wanted by the FBI. Baird, formerly from Bainbridge Island, defrauded investors by making false statements about his company’s product development, stated U.S. Attorney Tessa M. Gorman. Baird falsely claimed S-Ray Inc. obtained FDA authorization to market a dental device.

Gorman said Baird’s scheme started in 2012 and defrauded some 200 investors of $10.75 million. Baird told investors their money would be used to bring a product to market but instead, Baird used more than half of the investors’s money — some $5.7 million — for his family’s personal expenses, including buying a luxury car and a waterfront house on Bainbridge Island.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office is also seeking forfeiture of a ranch in Terrebonne, Oregon that Barid paid for using the fraudulent money. The court entered a preliminary order of forfeiture with respect to the property. The case is being investigated by the FBI and is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Seth Wilkinson and Jehiel Baer, and Special Assistant United States Attorney Jessica M.
