Samuel Israel III (Arrested!)
Business Buzz Hedge fund manager steals $450 million from investors and then fakes his own suicide before reporting to prison for a 20 year sentence. His car was found near the Hudson River bridge with the message “suicide is painless” written on the hood. His body has still not been found and the FBI and others think he has skipped town. Law enforcement is monitoring airports and boarders and consider Mr. Israel “armed and dangerous”. Update: Feds Say Israel did NOT kill himself and is still at large! Update 2: His girlfriend helped him escape! Update 3: After weeks on the run, Samuel Israel turns himself in. Don’t you kinda wish he escaped? Would make the story better!
