Peregrine CEO set to be released from jail after guilty plea Sep 13th 2012, 21:58 CHICAGO, Sept 13 | Thu Sep 13, 2012 5:58pm EDT CHICAGO, Sept 13 (Reuters) - Peregrine Financial Group Chief Executive Russell Wasendorf Sr., who has confessed to stealing millions of dollars from clients, will be released from a county jail after he pleads guilty on Sept. 17 to mail fraud, lying to regulators and embezzling customer money, according to a judge's order. Wasendorf, 64, will stay in the home of an Iowa pastor pending sentencing for the crimes, the order said. Wasendorf attempted suicide on July 9 near the headquarters of his Cedar Falls, Iowa, brokerage and left a signed confession of a 20-year-long fraud. The search continues for the money he stole. Former clients are still unable to access funds frozen since the firm's bankruptcy on July 10. (Reporting By Tom Polansek; editing by Carol Bishopric)
