Ruth Madoff, Bernard Madoff’s (financial pyramid organizer) wife, left the house with just her handbag.

American executors sealed up financier-swindler Bernard Madoff’s estate, and he was sentenced to 150 years in prison these days.

Executors broke in a swindler-financier Bernard Medoff’s penthouse and sealed up all fraudster’s property. Ruth Madoff failed to pick a single thing out of the house.

They had a warrant on Madoff’s property arrest and dispossess proceedings of his family. According to a police officer, fraudster’s wife received a warning about eviction a few days before the visit, but did not want to leave her husband’s apartments.

“She will leave. Providing compensation to victims is the main task of state power”, - executor said.

According to eyewitnesses, Ruth Madoff left the apartment without serious resistance. She only asked for permission to take a mink coat, but this was denied. As a result, after completion of all documents a fraudster’s wife left her house only with a handbag in her hands.

Ruth Madoff’s lawyer, Peter Chavkin, urged the public showing compassion to an elderly lady and stop gloating about her.

Then officers changed the locks on all penthouse’s doors. Costly furniture, household appliances and all other fraudster’s property will be sold at auction. The same fate awaits a modest “loft”, as Madoffs talked about it. Real estate experts estimate it in $ 7 million dollars.

Now Madoff’s wife is filed a claim on $ 45 million

Victims of American financier Bernard Medoff’s financial pyramid filed a suit for 45 million dollars to his wife Ruth Madoff.

In the opinion of trustees appointed by the New York court of bankruptcy to protect Madoff’s pyramid victims interests, money obtained through fraudulent activities of her husband were transferred to Ruth Madoff’s account over the last six years.

In June 2009 Ruth Madoff’s accounts were arrested, however financial authorities allowed her disposing of 2.5 million dollars amount, because they had no proofs the funds were obtained illegally.

Ruth Madoff’s lawyers called a lawsuit filed against her «ridiculous», referring to the fact that Ruth did not know anything about her husband’s criminal activities.

Earlier, U.S. media reported that shortly before Madoff’s arrest, Ruth withdrew about 15 million dollars from his accounts. During the trial of financier, his wife was not charged with assisting.

Currently, Bernard Madoff is serving 150 years in «Batner» prison, located in North Carolina. In June 2009, the District Court of New York found him guilty of creating the largest financial pyramid in U.S. history, the total loss of which was assessed by the court in 13 billion dollars.
