The ONLY thing Ruth Madoff needs to say in her "statement" is

WHERE THEY HID THE MONEY..

Why on earth is the criminal's wife's statement necessary:grr:

[panader0]

1. Why the hell isn't she in jail too?

She knew what was going on. She withdrew millions the day before Bernie was arrested.

7. She and her children are now being investigated.

2. Was she complicit? I mean is there evidence that makes her complicit?

i have to admit I haven't payed much attention to the wife in this particular scandal.

3. SHE was the "bookkeeper/accountant" for DECADES

and the "boys" were ushered into the family "business" too.. It was a long-time scam, and they were all IN it..and they all lived pretty chi-chi lives from all that ill-gotten wealth..

5. I Also Assume That She's Complicit,

but you have to ask whether she was on the investment side or just dealt with clients and business operations. Doing the books doesn't tell you anything unless you see how the money was or wasn't invested.

4. She's complicit. eom

6. Cause It Allows Her Lawyers To Bill More Hours...

I agree...there's nothing I want to hear from her other than where the money went. But in this 24/7 news world, everyone gets their 15 minutes like it or not. If it's not her giving some kind of mea culpa or plea for pity, it'll be a dozen talking heads conjecturing and speculating. Take your pick.
