Iscariot

Judas Iscariot was one of the twelve apostles, entrusted with the group's money as its treasurer, and John's Gospel says he regularly stole from the funds even before his greater betrayal. He handed Jesus over to the religious authorities for thirty pieces of silver, identifying him with a kiss in the garden of Gethsemane, and afterward, overcome with remorse, he returned the money and hanged himself, though the accounts in Matthew and Acts describe the specifics of his death somewhat differently.
