The opening as it read in 2020

Uzi Katz (born September 1960) is an Israeli businessman and the chief executive officer of Telit until it was uncovered that Oozi Cats was allegedly the same person as Uzi Katz , who was indicted for property fraud in the United States in the 1990s.1 Katz was the founder and head of Auto Depot Israel. In 1992, Katz, an associate, and his wife Ruth were indicted by a Boston district court over allegations of wire fraud , but the couple left the US before the plea hearing. Cats co-founded Telit and was its CEO since 2000. In August 2017, Share Prophets, a financial blog, and the Italian newspaper Il Fatto Quotidiano had both noticed that Cats and Katz both had wives called Ruth, and had the same birthday. In August 2017, Cats took "a voluntary leave of absence" from Telit, and resigned a few days later, following allegations that he had misled them about this real identity for 17 years, and was a fugitive from US justice. Following the announcement, shares in Telit, which is listed on London's AIM stock exchange, fell by 35%. "Telit chief Oozi Cats resigns after US fraud allegations" . 14 August 2017 .
