No, they take the house if the fruits of his illegal enterprise were used to purchase it.

Stop your complaining! This is American free enterprise. Taxes are sometimes paid by the rich, when they get caught.

I’m this way from reading too many of your posts. Good grief, I would have thought that was obvious.

The feds have NOT BEEN heavy handed at every stage of the Madoff case. Heavy handed should at least include putting the Misses out on the street with a garbage bag to cloth her===or anything she bought before she got married but I’m guessing all that was thrown away immediately.

C’mon Deisel, you can do the math: a few million compared to some 50 Billion? Unless non tainted funds can be proven, in a court AFTER SEIZURE, every single last item of property and money should be seized from the mrs and the boys.

Amusing you confuse your own circumstances and sense of justice with that of a crook. Why are you so muddle minded?

When wouldn’t the Feds be heavy handed?

Once again, her biggest mistake was being married to this idiot. We are not talking about her keeping much of what she had either. Almost everything is gone and she has had a severe shock to her system and lifestyle just like all the other people he screwed.

$13k? Hell she could probably sell a pair of shoes and get more.

Now Deisel==you know that money is fungible and all property was bought with “community property.” Arguably,
she made a few 10′s of thousands while Bernie made a few million. Compared to Billions in fraud. Nothing wrong at all in the Feds being a bit heavy handed here.

Intelligent people arguing even while admitting they are wrong is all too prevalent on this blog.

Try to be a better role model, show pecker how to do it.

Bobbo, It’s a Chevy but I won’t quibble about you not knowing older trucks.

Of course she wouldn’t be able to keep any of the money or goods IF it can be proved that Bernie gave it to her AND it was from an illegal activity. What some people may or may not know is that not everything done by a crook is illegal. A thief may be working at burger King serving fries and could easily give all that money to his wife to support her tens of thousands of dollars a day spending habits and it would be perfectly legal for her to keep it all.

But that’s a shitload of fries………..

#11–god==what would be the key difference?

And no one here even comprehends the difference between a rebate and a refund.

Why expect relevant commentary?

Now Mr Diesel–if I steal your 1957 Ford Pickemup Truck and give it to my wife, and you catch me, she is not allowed to keep any part of that truck, not even the hubcaps.

Same with money. “SHE” has no money except that which Bernie stole and gave to her. The math is simple enough to see.

So what you are saying is that Ruth Madoff can have nothing?

Until she is found guilty of something other than being stupid enough to be married to this cretin she is still a US citizen and allowed to keep some of her own property. Now if it is proven that it acquired by way of the swindle then it gets seized. Until then too bad.

Don’t think I have any love for this asshole, I don’t. I hope he lives a long life and get visited frequently some bull queer like the ones from The Shawshank Redemtion or Dallas from this blog, whichever is worse.
