The FBI's notice states that Horst Jicha's monitoring device stopped working on 3 October 2024 and agents were unable to locate him. It records a warrant issued the following day for an alleged pretrial-release violation. The notice was still available when checked on 23 October 2026. It is evidence of the FBI's stated wanted status, not a criminal judgment on the underlying USI Tech allegations or independent confirmation of his current location.
