Jailed financier Bernie Madoff gets $13,800 tax rebate | guardian.co.uk WTF? And why does Ruth Madoff have anything?
The disgraced financier Bernie Madoff has received a $13,800 (£8,500) tax rebate, angering clients who lost billions in the biggest Ponzi scheme in Wall Street history.
The jailed fraudster was sent the money after overpaying the property taxes on his waterfront mansion in Palm Beach, Florida, which his wife still owns despite other assets being seized by investigators who unravelled his $65bn investment scam.
The rebate cheque was issued last month and made payable to Ruth and Bernard Madoff. Ruth Madoff sent the cheque back to the tax office asking that it be reissued with her husband’s name removed.

That picture shows how big Bernie’s asshole will be in a couple months.
