Did Samuel Israel the hedge fund fraud fake his death?

This guy is dumb - cheating people out of money isn't cool unless he would be a politician. Then the Democrats would tell us it is "re-distribution of wealth" and call him a hero.

No, "re-distribution of wealth" is what a Socialist would call it. The Democrats call it, "taxing the rich", and the Republicans call it "compassionate conservatism". The result is the same in all cases, though.

nicely said. choosing between the parties is like choosing what color rope you want to be hung from...

Very nicely said as well :D I shall steal that phrase for my own personal use if you don't mind

US marshals reported today that he did not commit suicide and they are actively searching for him

Seeing as this is only a two lane bridge (with a toll keeper, and several not so good cameras) I find it really hard to believe that no one saw him (either jump or walk away from his SUV..or writing on the windshield for that matter)There is a way to track EZPass crossing, did anyone go through using EZPass at that time? Maybe they can ask those people if they saw anything

It’s Official: Feds Call Former Bayou CEO a Fugitive from the Law

As for witnesses, there probably aren't any. At least not any that can do any harm.
If it were me, I would have written the cryptic note on the dust of the vehicle, before starting my journey. Been dressed in dark clothing, wearing a wig and sun glasses, at dusk or later, to fool cameras and witnesses. I would have followed my get away driver, so that I could pull up behind him on the bridge and get into his car immediately and leave the scene with as little fan fare as possible.

Conversation after ditching Samuel Israel's car probably went like this:
"Here is the $10,000 I promised you for this trip.
To the airport - James"

Hi everyone,

I need to apologize here. When I settled the market I settled it incorrectly, therefore resulting in the "no settlement." The market should've been settled as yes and it has now been resettled.

Apologies,

Ryan
