Israel founded Bayou Hedge Fund Corporation in the year 1996 and extracted about $450 million from the investors by scamming them with fake statements from a phony accounting firm which he bought; and he used the swindled money lavishly until the year 2004.
In 2004, he and his company were indicted of frauds; to evict from the frauds he filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy court protection to his firm in the year 2005. In 2008, the bankruptcy cliché didn't help him or his firm to escape from the sentence of 20 years in prison. On the day of imprisonment, he tried to escape but was hunted down within three days and was issued an extra two years of prison for his actions.
