Indiana money manager who tried to fake death with Florida plane crash says he plans book

Ind. money manager plans book about plane crash

NOBLESVILLE, Ind. — An indicted Indiana money manager plans a book about his attempt to flee mounting personal problems, which ended with him parachuting from a plane that later crashed into a Florida swamp.

Marcus Schrenker told The Times of Munster that the book will focus heavily on bipolar disorder.

Schrenker says he was diagnosed as bipolar while he was a student at Purdue University and that he secretly sought treatment for more than four years.

Schrenker faces a March trial on 11 felony charges alleging he bilked friends, family members and other investors of more than $1 million. He was sentenced in August to four years in federal prison on charges stemming from the Jan. 11 plane crash.

Prosecutors say Schrenker is a habitual liar.
