Sometimes I catch myself feeling a little bad for this woman. Then I stop.

I hope they at least let her get her toothbrush. Maybe some pj's. Enough for human dignity. They could have supervised what she took and made sure it was just basics.

Don't like it when anyone gets treated like this.

She's lucky they didn't bash down the door with a battering ram and shoot her in the back, that's the way the Feds usually do it.

 
gorgor 2009-07-03 12:34:12 AM  
Kick her in the box and shove her.

She'd been notified 48 hrs prior. Plenty of time to get her shiat out of there. She was trying to take stuff that wasn't on the approved list.

FTFA: Ruth Madoff broke her silence Monday when she said in a statement that her husband "stunned us all with his confession and is responsible for this terrible situation in which so many now find themselves."

Don't give me that "Babe in the woods" routine Karen Ruth.

 
DBrandisNC 2009-07-03 12:38:19 AM  
Except for that $2.5 million.

Pretty sure they let her keep that.

Yes, I mean she's had decades of the finest things money could buy and all she had to do was be a good girl and keep her eyes and mouth shut about the true costs of the finest things. You know, all those other people who killed themselves in disgrace or lost all of their money. That cost.

She should be happy that there is no true justice or her pampered white ass would be rendered into dog soap.

/no sympathy. i can just imagine the sort of opinions this harpie was spewing about us regular folks a few short months ago.

 
olddinosaur 2009-07-03 12:41:29 AM  
They ought to let Bernie out of jail, put him in charge of Social Security and pay him a royalty.

Bernie steals billions/gov't steals trillions, but look who's in jail?

Hey, it's not Madoff's fault that his customers were too ignorant to learn better, amirite?

 
Brade 2009-07-03 12:41:48 AM  
don't feed the dumbest/weakest of all trolls!
That was so stupid, that it smashed some old trolling records.



Also,
How is she gonna even survive on just 2.5 mil? the horror!

I came in to say this. FTFA:

Ruth Madoff agreed to give up all of her possessions in return for a promise that federal prosecutors would not pursue $2.5 million not tied to the fraud.

Madoff's scheme made him and a few close associates very rich. SS isn't making anyone rich...

Dear Lady you are just as much a pig as your husband. You fed at the trough, you wore the skins of others, human and animal. What makes you think we give a crap if you end up inside a cardboard box. Justsaying

Why does everyone want to shiat on Bernie Madoff's wife? She didn't do anything wrong as far as we know. If she had she would have been 1 of the people charged with crimes.

 
Kay Kay Nay 2009-07-03 12:45:38 AM  
You guys are missing the most important part.

Who the hell pays 7 million dollars to live in that dump? And by dump I mean both the building and the whole farking city itself.

 
TheMega 2009-07-03 12:47:14 AM  
I can see where a fur coat would really be needed... seeing as how it is summer and all right now.

 
Excen 2009-07-03 12:47:44 AM  
Wow. The troll in this thread is thick. Both headed and in quantity.

I demand to know how they laundered that 2.5 million so I can go into business with some friends people that a friend knows in the recreational pharmaceuticals business.

/She deserves NOTHING
//That 2.5 million should have been confiscated
///They confiscate businesses that launder drug money, it's the same goddamned principle!

 
centralciudad 2009-07-03 12:48:02 AM  
About dang time.

Woke up one morning to see 7 squad cars lined up in front of the house at 6am. The feds and police were there to arrest my neighbor who was operating a mortgage fraud scheme. (ie: buy a dump, fix it up, put a buyer into it w/ falsified mtg application, out-of-state lender holds the title, owner defaults, whole thing comes unraveled)

The feds seized everything. (seized the leather pants off his partner at another location) His fiancee was out on her butt with a blanket over her shoulders and her dog in her arms.
By the end of the day, the house was completely empty.

Madoff deserves no better.

 
Sticky Hands 2009-07-03 12:48:26 AM  
Meh, frog march her.
Not one ounce of sympathy for her or for most of those investors. They knew he was up to something. His returns were too perfect, too consistent. They just assumed he was insider trading, you know: cheating someone else and not them.

 
GratuityIncluded 2009-07-03 12:48:28 AM  
One of the sons probably has a summer home for her.

If I ever saw her walking down the street, I'd throw an egg at her... then steal her cart full of cans.
