Greenwald was last photographed on surveillance cameras wearing a red shirt, black pants, black sandals, and white socks.

He also had a pair of eyeglasses on his forehead.

Greenwald was admitted to the hospital this past Thursday, though it is not known why, according to the New York Post.

Police said that Greenwald is currently homeless. He had been living in a shelter just around the corner from Bellevue Hospital.

Greenwald was last in the news in 2009, when he was hauled into court for allegedly violating a restraining order against his then-estranged wife, Michelle Greenwald (above)

It was only less than a decade ago that Greenwald was a millionaire living at one of New York City’s most luxurious hotels.

Greenwald was last in the news in 2009, when he was hauled into court for allegedly violating a restraining order against his then-estranged wife.

Michelle Greenwald, a cookbook author and teacher at New York University’s Stern School of Business, told police that Paul Greenwald lured her out of her apartment by calling her and telling her she was parked near a fire hydrant.

Once she came outside, Paul Greenwald allegedly grabbed her by the arm and started to scream at her.

He was subsequently charged with seven counts of felony criminal contempt.

The judge presiding over the case had him kicked out of the courtroom after he shouted: ‘The judge is a f***ing crook!’ 

Anyone with information in regards to Greenwald’s whereabouts is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). 

The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime stoppers website at WWW.NYPDCRIMESTOPPERS.COM or by texting their tips to 274637 (CRIMES) then enter TIP577.

All calls are strictly confidential.
