Wealth, Power, Greed and Suicide: Mark Madoff, Son of Bernard "Bernie" Madoff Commits Suicide (Was Mark Madoff's Suicide a Trade-off of Life for Lifestyle)
committed suicide. He hung himself in his New York apartment while his 2-year-old son slept. His wife and 4-year-old daughter were away on vacation at Florida's Disney World and he sent his wife a note simply saying that someone should check on their 2-year-old son and that he loved her. That was it. There was no suicide note. He also had two other children, ages 16 and 18, from a previous marriage. My first thought is that somebody killed Mark Madoff and rigged it to look like a suicide, but it seems that the ordeal simply took its toll. To learn about exactly what a Ponzi Scheme is, go to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponzi_scheme. Bernard Madoff, who's incarcerated and serving 150 years, left his sons with a legacy of corruption and fraud in what turned out to be an unbearable burden for at least one son. The Madoff name will forever be synonymous with pure greed. Father Madoff, the multi-billion dollar conman and super-shyster, will always be forever known as the Gordon Gekko of investing and Mark Madoff could no longer deal with the pain and shame. On the 2nd anniversary of his father's arrest for the most devastating case of investment fraud in U.S. history, he hung himself with a dog's leash. According to the FoxNews.com article, Mark Madoff was depressed and despondent over public scrutiny and his own alleged connections to his father's crimes. According to people who knew him, it had become too much for him to bear. His attorney said in a written statement, according to the article, "Mark Madoff took his own life today. This is a terrible and unnecessary tragedy. Mark was an innocent victim of his father's monstrous crime, who succumbed to two years of unrelenting pressure from false accusations and innuendo."
