Hiding her head in the sand is what she did.  That family has destroyed many people and so far they go on living a pretty good life.  It will be hard to prove so I’m sure she will be sluming it with trips to the Spa monthly instead of weekly.  The sons also knew what was going on.  To much robbing Peter to pay Paul for just Bernie to deal with alone.

I don’t pity Ruth Madoff but i pity all the ones rejoicing in hate!

Nobody really knows if she was aware about all this or not, but if I were her I will give all what I personally have to the people that now is suffering so much thanks to her husband, her sons are also welthy people, and I’m sure they can take good care of her.  To do nothing to aliviate the pain that Mr. Madoff create to so many will be worst, and will show to the world that she is not much different from him.

I ask the questions that should be asked….does Ruth Madoff ever think about the people her husband swindled money from? As she is the one who handled the books, has she figured out what each persons’ percentage, of  what is in her bank account,  she will be returning to the victims of the swindle? 

If she is repentant , or truly appalled that her husband was swindling people, then what is she doing to atone herself?

She must have at least suspected. Maybe that’s why she gave so much away. I don’t understand why the sons aren’t talking to her. They are all equally responsible for reporting Madoff’s illegal activities.

The sons should have known sooner the way Markopolos knew ten years earlier since the whole family was involved in the company business and worked directly with the SEC and could have reported it immediately to save a lot of people’s future’s.

I cannot be as nice, Ms Cooney. Whether Mrs Madoff knew or not is up to the Law to figure out. But she knows now. And who does she care about? It still seems to be herself, what she has, what her life is. Perhaps that’s a reasonable reaction — I don’t know, but it strikes me as cold and, for whatever part she played, unremorseful. I suspect if she’s ever brought to court that will go a long way in any case against her … 

There is no way she could not have known what was going on—so no I don’t feel sorry for her.  It’s he who is the real villain—but it’s hard to

believe that those in his immediate circle were not complicit.

Unlike some of these posts; I do feel sorry for Ruth.  She is being bashed to death and serving a guilty sentence without a court verdict.  This is wrong.  Doubt that many on this sight are so innocent in their own actions towards others.

 Forgivenss people! And, innocent until proven guilty!

And; greed is a huge sin.  Greed gets you no where.  I see that many of of these investors were extremely greedy.

As Sugar Kane, the heroine of a new novel, SUGAR TIME, says, "Every woman who’s not independently wealthy - or dependently, which is more often the case - worries about ending up as one of the Times Neediest Cases."  Do you think Ruth Madoff does, too?
