Samuel Israel III bilked his investors out of $450 million, but they are hoping to recoup some of their money from one of Wall Street’s deepest pockets: Goldman Sachs.

Samuel Israel III, the hedge fund manager who fled after faking a suicide, went to prison on Thursday, 25 days late.

Seemingly conflicting clues reflect the bizarre trajectory of the life of Samuel Israel III, the perpetrator of one of Wall Street’s biggest recent scam, who is now on the run.

A little more than an hour before a former hedge fund manager was to report to prison, his car was found abandoned on a bridge over the Hudson River with “Suicide Is Painless” etched on its hood.
