So are you implying that perhaps Madoff’s death was the result of foul play or pressure due to people threatening his life?
Even if you aren’t, it is an angle to think about here. A lot of people lost a lot of money by Madoff. I wouldn’t put it past them to make life miserable for some of the family.
His wife was in Florida with their 4 year old and he was in New York with the two year old.
