The sister of infamous Ponzi schemer Bernie Madoff and her husband have been found dead in an apparent murder-suicide, according to a news release from Florida police.

Deputies who responded to a 911 call found 87-year-old Sondra Wiener and her 90-year-old husband Marvin dead from gunshot wounds in their Boynton Beach, Florida home on Thursday, the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office said in the release Sunday.


*****

Madoff, born in New York's borough of Queens, was the mastermind behind a $20 billion Ponzi scheme -- the largest financial fraud in history.

Family tragedies followed his conviction. Madoff had two sons, both of whom worked for his firm. Mark Madoff, the older son, died by suicide in 2010, his other son Andrew died of cancer in 2014.

Madoff and Wiener's brother Peter also served a 10-year prison sentence for his involvement in the scheme. He was sentenced in 2012 and was released from prison in November 2019, to home confinement. His home confinement ended in August 2020.

2. Maybe a former investor looking for revenge?

Sad if they weren't involved.

3. They were 90 and 87, Machoneman. And Madoff was arrested in 2008.

I hope it's what it looks like at a glance and they just chose to go out together while they were still able. Their neighbors said they were very nice, warm people. RIP.

4. World's slowest revenge

Or maybe it was the very common phenomenon of an elderly couple deciding they were done, and taking a deliberate exit while they were still able.

Suicide is one of the most common causes of death. But, on the internet, every single one is really some kind of hit job, and there is an inexhaustible supply of incompetent, corrupt or cowardly investigators.

It's probably not even worth becoming a medical examiner, because pretty much every couple of weeks, someone is either trying to bribe you or threaten you to cover up a murder. What a disaster that profession is.
