'''Frank Michael Patti, Sr.''' (b. [[1930]]) is the owner of [[Joe Patti Seafood Company]], which his father [[Joe Patti|Joe]] started in [[1933]], and [[Patti Shipbuilding]]. He took over both businesses after his father's death in [[1992]] and oversaw the seafood company's growth from $2.2 million in annual sales to about $14.1 million in [[2000]].
On [[February 21]], [[2001]], he was indicted on 12 tax fraud charges alleging nearly $12 million in unreported income between 1993 and 1998. Twelve additional charges were later added against him. He initially pleaded not guilty and, on [[May 25]], crashed his pickup truck into the [[Frisco 1355]] engine on [[Garden Street]], afterwards claiming to have amnesia. He was sent to a federal medical facility for evaluation and was deemed competent for trial. On [[April 12]], [[2002]], he pleaded guilty to two of the initial counts and was sentenced to 79 months' prison and ordered to repay nearly $5 million in back taxes and fines. His fiancée [[Alice Guy]], who also pleaded guilty to tax evasion charges, was given probation and a $50,000 fine.
Patti was released from prison on [[December 15]], [[2005]] — after only 39 months' detention — because of cooperation and good behavior. He has since returned to managing operations at the seafood company.
On [[January 15]], [[2008]], he was arrested on a battery charge for allegedly hitting a customer who made a comment about his criminal past. The charge was later dropped due to insufficient evidence.
