Bernie Madoff was born on April 29, 1938, in Queens, New York, to stockbroker Ralph Madoff and Sylvia. Madoff was an American investment advisor, financial analyst, and stockbroker who perpetrated the largest financial fraud in the country.
He was accused of defrauding investors with a multibillion-dollar Ponzi scam. Madoff began his Wall Street career in 1960 and remained in control of his company until his 2008 arrest.
As a result of the global financial markets collapse, many investors withdrew cash from the United States, causing a recession. Due to his inability to make payments, it was determined that Madoff’s company was a fraud and a Ponzi scheme.
In December 2008, the US Securities and Exchange Commission detained him following many investigations. Madoff pleaded guilty to the federal charges against him.
During the decade of the 1980s, he defrauded his investors of billions of dollars; losses were estimated to exceed $65 billion. Madoff was sentenced to 150 years in prison in June 2009, which he was serving at the time of his death.
The deaths of Bernie Madoff’s sister and her husband are being investigated as a possible murder-suicide.
Bernie Madoff’s genuine sister and her husband were discovered dead in an apparent murder-suicide. Sondra Wiener, 87, was fatally shot at her house in Valencia Lakes, Florida on February 17, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office.
A 90-year-old man, believed to be her husband Marvin Wiener, was also fatally shot. However, in accordance with Florida legislation that protects crime victims, his family has sought anonymity.
A sheriff’s office report indicates that the pair died in what appears to be a murder-suicide. It went on to say:
“Detectives from the Division of Violent Crimes arrived on the scene to undertake further investigation.” Further investigation indicates that it appears to be a murder-suicide.”
It went on to add that the remains of the deceased were collected by staff of the Medical Examiner’s Office, who would then determine the cause of death.
BocaNewsNow received an official email lamenting the “tragic scenario” involving Sondra and Marvin Weiner on Barca Boulevard.
