The live-in girlfriend of fugitive hedge fund trader Sam Israel was arrested Thursday for aiding him in staging a suicide ruse and assisting him in his flight from a 20 year prison sentence, according to a federal complaint unsealed in New York.
Israel's sentence was meted out by a federal judge in April after he pleaded guilty to defrauding investors in his Bayou fund of more than $400 million dollars.
According to the complaint, Debra Ryan, after repeatedly denying any knowledge of Israel's whereabouts admitted to federal Marshal's today that on Sunday June 8th she had helped the fugitive financier attach a motor scooter to the back of his RV and then helped him pack the RV with his belongings.
On Monday June 9th, Ryan said, according to the complaint, that Israel "woke her up and told her that he needed her help." Then Israel drove the RV to a rest area en route to the bridge, Ryan followed in her own car, according to the complaint. She then drove Israel back to their home.
