A financial swindler who's a Democrat? That's unusual! It's usually the Repigs, like Stanford, who excel at that.

Perhaps Madoff had a little social conscience left. He mostly only swindled the rich.

And people who thought they could get something for nothing.

Repigs have been cheating everyday citizens for decades.

Look at how much Bushit stole from us to give to his billionaire pals as tax cuts.

And Bushit has a nice retirement home in Texass.

Wow. These extremeists really need to think about what is coming out of their mouths. It is very dangerous to generalize as much as is done here.

stickdog3, You're exactly right, but please remember that eventhough these women know more than they'll ever admit, they are all poor little victims of mean men...and as victims, they need as much money as they can keep because, after all, they do have to keep up appearances...

This whole thing is so predictable,what I mean how these women will say "I didin't know he was like this" come on. You living in a $7 million dollar penthouse apartment in NYC, you have a $11 million dollar house in Florida, you own a multi million dollar yacht, he's put $80 million worth of money and assets in your personal account, and yet you never ask or say "honey you're doing real good, but, honey are you doing that good"? Maybe you did ask but, you never followed through because you're living a privileged life, theres no way you're going to ask, are you kidding me? Reminds me of the line in that movie coming out this week, about John Dillinger, he was pursuing this girl who was a hat check girl in this club, anyways, she was pretty smart to ask questions up front, anyways she asked "just what do you do"? I guess after seeing him with the signs that he probably had money. Anyways he answered "I rob banks", simple as that, they became a couple shortly thereafter, at least he was straight up and she was straight forwad in wanting to know. Wonder if Ruth ever asked that question?

Darthcheney you are an insult to the name, and considering he's the lowest low-life this country's ever let get into power, that's saying something.

Obviously you can't read. All her possessions are part of the $171 Billion judgement. She gets $2.5 mil and that's all. To her this would be like the average American being left a quarter.

Are you kidding me? How many single Moms are there in the world right now because the Dads won't take responsibility? You're an idiot who sounds like he won't take responsibility. And, can anyone tell me why this woman is shown sitting in the subway when she has 2.5 million?

I have to admit it you nailed this one. Thats exactly whats going to happen, and I get tired of hearing that bs on the news every day, "how can anyone do that to that poor wonderful woman" Please! This woman is no more a victim than the man in the moon. The Laws of Averages say theres no way you can maintain that type of decption over a sustained period of time, at some point the true "you" will come out even if in modest amounts. You cannot live with someone (in this case 5o years) and not know their true self, he can't possibly hide his true self for that long.

I find it funny that she gets to keep 2.5 million.

Yeah, that's $2.5 million PLUS the money and valuables her husband transferred to her for safekeeping just before he was indicted.

She's just ashamed and embarrassed that she's going to have to live on a measly $2.5 million until the inquiries die down.

I don't care how skanky and droopy she looks.
I want to see her ride a horse naked through the city.

Dude, the horse would be getting the worst end of the deal pun intended.

I'd rather see her fishing through the clothing bin at the goodwill, after all her assets have been confiscated, sold at auction and the proceeds given to all the people she scammed.

Ruth-less is more like it.

She's laughing all the way to the bank every day.

I wonder if she's ashamed enough to give that $2.5 million the court left her with to the investors?

Actions speak louder than words Ruth.

Prediction! Ruth will cut her hair shorter, her bu** will grow larger, she'll have a million cats and she'll blame men for everything!

nriss1859, You say that now, but once she appears on Oprah, you'll cry along with the audience members at how strong she is and what a mean man Bernie was. And you'll buy the People magazine that features her too...c'mon, you know it's true.
