Wow.......And supposedly he knew nothing.
Official: Madoff's son found dead in apparent suicide
NEW YORK — The eldest son of disgraced financier Bernard Madoff hanged himself by a dog leash in his Manhattan apartment on Saturday, the second anniversary of his father's arrest in a multibillion-dollar Ponzi scheme that swindled thousands of investors of their life savings, law enforcement officials said.
Mark Madoff, 46, was found hanging from a ceiling pipe in the living room of his SoHo loft apartment as his 2-year-old son slept in a nearby bedroom, law enforcement officials told NBC News.
Madoff, who reported his father to authorities, had never been criminally charged in the biggest investment fraud in U.S. history that has snared a half-dozen Madoff employees.
Mark Madoff and his brother Andrew have said they were unaware of their father's crimes. But they have been remained under investigation and been named in multiple investor lawsuits accusing them of profiting from the scheme.
