Official: Madoff son found dead in NYC apartment

Mark Madoff found hanged in apparent suicide

A law enforcement official tells The Associated Press that a son of Bernard Madoff has been found dead in New York City of an apparent suicide.

The official says Mark Madoff was found hanged in his Manhattan apartment.

A family member notified police around 7:30 a.m. Saturday.

The official spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity because he wasn't allowed to speak publicly about the case.

Mark Madoff and his brother, Andrew, were under investigation but hadn't faced any criminal charges in the massive Ponzi scheme that led to their father's jailing.

Bernard Madoff swindled a long list of investors out of billions of dollars and is serving a 150-year prison term.

Wow, we will never know if it was suicide or someone taking out the garbage. Either way Berny has it better than his family. One will be taken out at a time and Berny is safe in prison

This seems to imply that this son was complicit in the scam. However, it was the sons who turned ole Bernie in. So, was this guy an accomplice, or is he feeling guilty about turning Dad in??
