Sean Penn helping US man recover after ordeal in Bolivia

In this Dec. 15, 2014 photo Jacob Ostreicher, a New York businessman, poses for a photo in Los Angeles. In the year since he was spirited out of Bolivia, the 55-year-old has struggled to rebuild a life upended by corrupt officials who tried to extort him and had him imprisoned without charge while bleeding his Bolivian rice venture dry. The ordeal shredded the Brooklyn man's marriage, drained his bank account and nearly stole his sanity. (AP Photo/Damian Dovarganes) LIMA, Peru (AP) — It began with an attempt to salvage an ill-fated investment in Bolivian rice farms, devolved into a Third World prison nightmare and climaxed with an escape engineered with the help of actor Sean Penn.
