A French hedge fund founder believed to have lost up to $1.4 billion investing with Bernard Madoff was found dead of an apparent suicide Tuesday in his midtown office, police sources said,
Thierry Magon de la Villehuchet, the 65-year-old co-founder and chief executive officer of Access International Advisors, was pronounced dead at 8 a.m. inside his Madison Avenue office. Villehuchet had reportedly recently confessed to clients that he ran a fund that invested with Madoff, who was arrested on Dec. 11 for running what investigators call "a $50 billion Ponzi scheme."
