Madoff's Wife Cedes Asset Claim
Swindler Husband Plays Fate Like His Fraud Ahead of Monday's Sentencing



Ruth Madoff, the wife of one of the most reviled swindlers in history, has agreed to give up her potential claim to more than $80 million worth of assets, keeping just $2.5 million in cash in an agreement reached with federal prosecutors.

The settlement with the U.S. attorney's office in Manhattan was approved late Friday by U.S. District Court Judge Denny Chin, who is scheduled to sentence her husband, Bernard Madoff, on Monday in a final courtroom stand that will seal his legacy as one of the world's most successful thieves.

Mrs. Madoff won't attend her husband's sentencing in federal court ...

4. That slimy piece of shit gets to keep over 2 mil?

Absurd! She should be penniless pushing a shopping cart around NYC getting spare change for her next meal. Give her a grate to sleep on and a kick in the head as a reminder of all those she and her crooked husband ruined for life.
