BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) — A judge declined to revoke bail Friday for a former Connecticut hedge fund adviser awaiting sentencing for a major fraud scheme.

Prosecutors had said Francisco Illarramendi failed to disclose a tax refund despite an asset freeze. He pleaded guilty last year to fraud and conspiracy to obstruct justice in a scheme to conceal huge losses.
