"Con Man" Caught After Failed Suicide Attempt
David Hernandez, the man sought by the FBI after disappearing when his Chicago sports Internet venture went bust, is in custody.
Hernandez was apprehended Monday in Normal, Ill., after a failed suicide attempt, the Tribune reported.
Hernandez disappeared after federal authorities accused him in civil court of running a Ponzi scheme that bilked more than 100 investors out of $12 million. Last week, his highly-publicized Internet radio venture with Mike North called Chicago Sports Webio, collapsed. Payroll checks bounced. Hernandez didn't return calls. And Mike North started making noise in the media, calling Hernandez a con man.
Hernandez is accused of mail fraud.
