I don’t get this. If I robbed a bank and gave some of the proceeds to my wife, the money would be seized. Why should Ruth Madoff be treated any different? I don’t believe for second that she didn’t know what her husband was doing. All wives know what their husbands are doing. Maybe not the details, but they know the big picture. I guess the moral is that if you are going to steal, steal big – very big.
