The Madoff Suicide

The Son of the convicted Ponzi Scheme investor, Bernie Madoff commits suicide. Mark Madoff was found dead in his apartment early Saturday morning, Dec.11 by his father-in-law. “December 11 is the two-year anniversary when Bernie turned himself in, and that was surely weighing on his mind,” says one investigator.


Mark Madoff and his younger brother, Andrew, had not been indicted on criminal charges, but they have been included in a number of civil suits, including one, filed in October 2009, seeking the return of some $200 million in salaries and other bonuses from members of the Madoff family, and another, filed last Wednesday, seeking $80 million from the directors of Madoff’s London operation.

The sins of the father were the demise of the son.

The Madoff Family name is now one of shame; directly associated with the infamous Ponzi Scheme. Mark Madoff's ex-wife petitioned the courts to legally change the surname of their two sons. Before taking his own life, Mark Madoff sent out emails and one of them read " No one wants to hear the truth".


One time for you Mind: Did public ridicule lead to Mark Madoff's death? Did America or the Media bully and pressure the Madoff son, causing him to take his own life. If so, shouldn't someone be held responsible? What do you think?
