Lawyer: Ruth Madoff Will Fight For NYC, Montauk Homes
Source: WXIP

When U.S. marshals seized three of Ruth Madoff's boats and her Palm Beach home last week, her attorney said those actions were done with her consent and cooperation.

But if the Florida seizures went smoothly, the same cannot be expected if the U.S. attorney's office in Manhattan goes after Ruth Madoff's two other homes - an apartment in Manhattan and a house in Montauk - because they are allegedly the fruits of her husband Bernard's crimes.

Ruth Madoff, 67, is ready to rumble to save not only the two remaining homes but also more than $62 million in private assets. She also hasn't given up, said her attorneys, on ultimately fighting for the money from the sale of her Florida properties.

It is interesting that she gave up the Florida property. The Government made it sound like they were cowboys when the property was seized.

3. Give her a shopping cart and a pup tent and let the crook fend for herself
she can pick up cans and bottles for her next meal. Sell her assets and give them to the people her and her slimy husband stole.

7. Sorry, honey. You're going to have to move back to Queens.
You won't be able to afford Manhattan by the time the feds are done with you.
