Ruth Madoff Statement After Bernard Madoff Gets 150 Yr Sentence

Following Bernie Madoff's sentencing, Ruth Madoff issued this statement:

"I am breaking my silence now, because my reluctance to speak has been interpreted as indifference or lack of sympathy for the victims of my husband Bernie's crime, which is exactly the opposite of the truth.

"From the moment I learned from my husband that he had committed an enormous fraud, I have had two thoughts - first, that so many people who trusted him would be ruined financially and emotionally, and second, that my life with the man I have known for over 50 years was over. Many of my husband's investors were my close friends and family. And in the days since December, I have read, with immense pain, the wrenching stories of people whose life savings have evaporated because of his crime.

"My husband was the one we (and I include myself) respected and trusted with our lives and our livelihoods, often for many, many years, and who was respected in the securities industry as well. Then there is the other man who stunned us all with his confession and is responsible for this terrible situation in which so many now find themselves. Lives have been upended and futures have been taken away. All those touched by this fraud feel betrayed; disbelieving the nightmare they woke to. I am embarrassed and ashamed. Like everyone else, I feel betrayed and confused. The man who committed this horrible fraud is not the man whom I have known for all these years.

"In the end, to say that I feel devastated for the many whom my husband has destroyed is truly inadequate. Nothing I can say seems sufficient regarding the daily suffering that all those innocent people are enduring because of my husband. But if it matters to them at all, please know that not a day goes by when I don't ache over the stories that I have heard and read."

She is guilty as fuck for conspiracy but it is not what you know but what you can prove. She knew what he was doing.

[caganb]

I'll bet she has millions hidden somewhere

[sail1948]

LOL!! 

[farronx]

that was pretty funny

[karlkarlkarl1234]

@caganb

She does still have millions.

Victims have been trying to sue her but cannot get to the fortune she has of stolen money Bernie put in her name. She should be in jail for handling stolen goods.

Just shows that the gross injustice in America when it comes to white-collar crime.

What a filthy prostitute. An example of everything that is wrong with humanity.

In order to convince other people, you must first convince yourself .

So damn easy to write this,You make it spill off the page

So drunk on yourself, self-righteous, A laughing stock of your own fuck*** stage

You can tell the same lie a thousand times, But never gets any more true.

Close your eyes once more and believe, They all still believe in you
