That’ll teach him not to run from Uncle Sam.

Alleged insider trader Deep Shah, a former Moody’s analyst, was hit with an eye-popping $35 million fine yesterday to settle civil charges filed by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Manhattan federal court Judge Jed Rakoff ordered Shah, who authorities contend has been hiding out in Mumbai to avoid facing the criminal and civil charges, to pay $10 million based on his alleged ill-gotten gains, plus a $24.6 million penalty.

Shah is the only one in a group of 48 traders, executives and consultants arrested as part of the sweeping federal probe into insider trading not to be convicted.

A 49th defendant, James Fleishman, a former vice president for expert networking firm Primary Global Research, is set to take his case to trial at the end of August.

Because he ran from prosecution, Rakoff threw the book at Shah. He has 30 days to appeal the ruling. .
