Marcus Schrenker - Investment Manager and Skydiver

This guy may not have come up with the biggest or sophisticated fraud but his attempts to cover his tracks give him price of place on Americas Most Smashable list. The Indiana investment manager who bailed out of his airplane over Alabama in a botched attempt to fake his own death and was subsequently captured was trying to leave behind a trail of personal and financial wreckage which extended from extramarital affairs to plain and simple theft and deception. Marcus Schrenker, 38, came up with a great plan ... Take off in the plane, call in a bird strike which caused injury and bleeding and then jump out with a parachute as the plane crashes, he even positioned a motorcycle near the bailout point so he could make his escape more swiftly. Problem is when the plane crashed there was no body, no bird strike, no blood and no way the story made sense. He must have figured the plot was a little thin as when he was taken into custody at a campground, he had slit his wrists in yet another attempt to kill himself, said Marty Keely, U.S. Marshal for the Northern District of Alabama. "I can't go into how we got there," said Keely, whose office was involved in the hunt for Schrenker. But there was a parachute involved ...

A Florida-based Marshal Service task force acted on a tip that Schrenker was inside a tent at the campground, and sent a group of about 20 officers to investigate. By the time Schrenker was found, Keely said, he had lost a great deal of blood.

He was treated at the scene and then airlifted to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital, Keely said. His injuries did not appear life-threatening.

Schrenker's capture ended a 48-hour manhunt by state and federal officials from Indiana, Alabama and Florida. He now faces a long list of charges and a life time of making sure he never drops the soap in the prison shower ... A handsome boy like this in the big house will be very popular.
