Ruth Madoff Cuts Off Bernie (Again)

August 15, 2011

Bernie Madoff's wife of 52 years had a heart-rending choice to make:  husband Bernie or son Andrew.  Bernie, who's serving 150 years for his Ponzi scheme, lost.

Ruth has stopped corresponding with him in an attempt to reconnect with her son.  Nor has she visited her husband since December 2010, when eldest son Mark took his life in a strangulation suicide.  Mark's widow, Stephanie, barred Ruth from the memorial service.

Ruth has now chosen to try to reconcile with her younger son Andrew who, along with Mark, gave her an ultimatum between a life with her children and grandchildren or standing by Bernie's side.  She had initially chosen her kids, but returned to Bernie in 2009 after he was beaten in prison. 

As the worm turns.    [AOL, 8/15/11]
