Julie Scuderi of HedgeCo writes, "The international man hunt for Sam Israel came to an end yesterday when the hedge fund fraudster turned himself over to authorities."

Sam Israel turned himself in at the Southwick, Mass., police station around 9:30 a.m., said Suzanne Anderson, Police Chief Assistant. The police station is about 95 miles away from the Ayer, Massachusetts federal prison that Israel was supposed to report to on June 9th to start serving his 20-year sentence."

It is rumored that Israel turned himself in because of ailing health problems.
