- So...really good at stealing people's money, not so good at killing yourself.

- I know the Madoff's first suicide attempt failed, but, as with all criminals, I believe they deserve a second chance.
I can't believe the level of denial. They wanted to leave gifts of jewelry for their friends? How could they not realize they were giving away effectively stolen goods. I still don't think they get it. - Reply to this comment
- And who can believe that this suicide attempt was real? These people are manipulators, liars, con men. They offered people the dream of making a lot of money the easy way. And it was fun for a while, but as the Book says, " For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs."

- You forgot the plastic bag over the head, and to fall asleep on the edge of the roof with nooses around your necks. I'm sure something would have come from that. If they had really wanted to die, they'd have found a way to succeed with all of their connections. I'm sure someone they screwed over would have done them the honours. They did live in a penthouse, however, it would have been horrible if they'd have ruined one more innocent life by hitting them on the way down. I really hope there is a god who can forgive them.

- How low must journalism go for ratings? This woman evokes no sympathy from me. Nasty letters? Antiques she wanted to pass on to her children that, I am sure, few can afford? Why must the media deify those who commit such crimes against ordinary people? It seems the only regret is that Mr. Madoff got caught. Move on to something that matters. How many people killed themselves or died of heart attacks when they realized their life savings had disappeared. I will not watch 60 Minutes again.

- OMG! This article SO DISGUSTS me that I actually just opened an account here so I could comment. This woman is a total fraud. She is not even remotely credible or sympathetic. Why on earth is she coming out from hiding and trying to be a VICTIM!!! It's positively perverse!
I WILL NOT watch the 60 Minutes episode. It would be just too revolting to listen to this self serving narcissist. I will say that her daughter-in-law, who has recently surfaced with her new book, is a much more credible and sympathetic figure. But THIS woman? OMG. She drove her own son to suicide. And, now she wants to be sympathetic to the public?! That will just never happen. I think she is trying to jump on the wave of sympathy that her daughter-in-law may have generated. - Reply to this comment
- If you don't first succeed try, try again.

- So the occasional nasty letter - read, I might add, from the comfort of her $9 million penthouse - was "beyond anything" she expected or felt she deserved? No mention, though, of nagging guilt at the thought of those thousands of innocent, hard-working people whose lives she and her husband ruined? Or of those they drove to (successful) suicide? If this charade was meant to elicit sympathy for the Madoffs, it failed miserably. I didn't think I could, but I now despise her and her husband even more than before. I'm not a religious person, but she makes me want to believe in the possibility of eternal damnation. Sickening, truly.

- a bit dubious that 2 elderly people would genuinely attempt suicide and not even require any medical attention the next morning.
