The pilot at the center of the fake plane crash has been identified as Marcus Schrenker. It seems he might have been trying to stage his own death to get out from under investigation for securities fraud. According to CNN, Schrenker owns three companies that are under investigation for securities violations. The companies are Heritage Wealth Management, Heritage Insurance Services and Icon Wealth Management.

Schrekner’s plane crashed in East Milton, Florida around at 9:15 p.m. CT on Sunday after he sent out distress signals and informed air traffic controllers that the plane’s windshield had imploded and that he was bleeding profusely. It was eventually discovered that he had set the plane on autopilot and parachuted to safety before it crashed.
