They are all Democrats BTW.
It needed to be said.
The younger Madoff, 46, was found by his father-in-law. With him in the apartment was his 2-year-old child, said sources.
Police sources said Madoff was hanging from a dog collar attached to a pipe in the apartment ceiling.
I didn't know this part. Sounds like the kid did the right thing.
It seems that the son is the one that alerted the authorities about the illegals deeds of the father.
Condolences to the family and friends of Mark Madoff.

There’s a recent suspense novel...Money To Burn, author was Grippando I think? In it the Madoff debacle is referenced and one of the big players had a son who apparently committed suicide, and later on it was found to be murder.
I’d look twice at this news and wonder if life imitated art. Insofar as either is what it is...
The good news, he died just in time for his heirs to beat an increase in the estate tax...
Some call it karma, some call it fate.
The sins of the father shall be visited upon the son.

“...With him in the apartment was his 2-year-old child, said sources....”
So this selfish, pathetic coward offs himself, with his little boy in the apartment with him...that’s just wonderful. Just f***ing great...Way to go, “Dad”...
Please pray for this little kid, so that he has no memory of the horror of it and can grow up to lead somewhat of a normal life.
This world is full of jerkoffs...and it’s the kids that always pay the price because of the jerkoffs... Damage to ourselves, well, that’s the way things go...but damage to kids BECAUSE of us? That’s unacceptable. Sick to my stomach thinking of it...

The tragedy of materialism over morality.
I am so thankful that during my life I experienced the challenge of poverty and found purpose. Grateful that my children were also similarly blessed.
Lessons that socialists overlook: strength of character is derived by our own efforts - not by living on the labor of others.
Suicide? I wonder if he even had a choice in the matter.
Who will take care of the doggie now?

Madoff’s Eldest Son Found Dead in Suicide

Maybe this occurred because the son was complicit in Bernie’s crimes.
Or felt shame and guilt over what his father did.
Too bad we’ll never get his testimony in court cases.
I hope Bernie feels others pain today and in the coming weeks.
And the sins of the parents shall be visited upon thier children.
[the younger Madoff, 46, hanging fully clothed from a black dog leash attached to a pipe in the apartment ceiling.
His 2-year-old son was sleeping in a nearby bedroom and was unharmed, as was their labradoodle.]
I don’t know about the rest of you, but I think the labradoodle has some explaining to do.
I’m of two minds on this. We know that he did scam a lot of people, but his track record was well known and it was an impossible performance level. Many of his investors knew this and it was apparently common knowledge on the street.
So, yes he scammed a large number of people, but many of them knew that they were throwing in with a questionable money manager.
Prayers for a misguided soul.
