The girlfriend of fugitive Samuel Israel III was arrested Thursday, for aiding and abetting his flight. Israel, recently sentenced to 20 years in prison for swindling his hedge fund clients out of almost $400 million, faked his suicide days before he was supposed to enter prison. His girlfriend told authorities that she had helped Israel pack a recreational vehicle, attach a motor scooter and then drove with him to a rest area, where the R.V. was left for later use.
