Families Ruth, the widow of Bernie Madoff: from living in mansions of eight million to the panic of being recognized and attacked
Sondra Wiener
, sister of financier
Bernie Madoff
, sentenced to 150 years in prison for perpetrating the
largest pyramid scheme
in the history of Wall Street, was
found dead along with her husband
in Florida, in an alleged case of murder and subsequent suicide, according to reports this Sunday the local police.
The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office (PBSO) reported that Wiener, 87, was found dead in a Boynton Beach home along with her husband,
Marvin, 90,
on February 17.
The agents responded that day to a call to the 911 emergency line informing them that a man and a woman
were not responding inside their residence.
Upon arrival, officers located an elderly woman and man
"deceased from gunshot wounds."
The cause of death will be determined by the coroner's office, police said, although the investigation so far
points to a "murder/suicide" case.
The police have not indicated
who would have killed the other
before committing suicide or given other details.
The marriage lived since 2009 in their house located in Valencia Lakes, one of the communities inhabited only by
people 55 years of age or older
so common in Florida.
Madoff died in April last year at the age of 82
in a US federal prison
, where he was held after being found guilty of
embezzling $50 billion.
The financier went from being one of the most prestigious figures on Wall Street to a symbol of the
worst stock market practices
after uncovering the gigantic investment fraud that operated for years and ended up costing large and small investors billions.
