Ruth Madoff, wife of disgraced financier Bernie Madoff who bilked thousands of people out of billions of dollars in a decades long Ponzi scheme has finally broken her silence with some explosive news. She says that on Christmas Eve 2008, after the couple’s sons ratted out their father to authorities, the two of them tried to kill themselves. She claims they took a bunch of pills to escape the intense media scrutiny, but ended up waking up the next morning.
- So Bernie was smart enough to rip off billions of dollars but couldn’t figure out how many sleeping pills it would take to induce the big dirt nap?
- So it turns out Bernie’s clients weren’t the only ones who wanted to kill him.
