A New York lawyer left a suicide note admitting that he had run a $5 million Ponzi scheme and called the investments “all an illusion,” prosecutors said on Friday.
Charles Bennett, 56, who was rescued Nov. 3 after he jumped into the Hudson River, was arrested and charged with securities and wire fraud in Manhattan federal court.
Police officers recovered a note Bennett signed called “A Sad Ending to My Life” in which he confessed he “managed to completely squander the hard-earned money” of his family and friends, according to court documents.
