Hedge-fund fugitive turns himself in
A hedge fund swindler who set off a national manhunt when he faked his suicide to avoid reporting to prison rode his scooter to a small-town police station in Massachusetts and turned himself in while talking to his mother on his cell phone.
Samuel Israel III showed up at the police station in Southwick, after hiding out for the last three weeks in one of his cars. The US Marshals Service had been in touch with the mother for several days as the feds zeroed in on her fugitive son.
