NEW YORK – Every day for two years, he carried the toxic burden of a name that meant fraud to the world. On Saturday, the eldest *** of disgraced financier Bernard Madoff hanged himself in his Manhattan apartment, another casualty in the saga that sent his ****** to prison and swindled thousands of their life savings.
On the second anniversary of the day his ****** was arrested in the worst investment fraud in American history, Mark Madoff, 46, was found dead in the living room of his SoHo loft. He was hanging from a black dog leash while his 2-year-old *** ***** nearby.
People close to him said he was despondent over press coverage of his ******'s case, an ongoing criminal investigation of Madoff ****** members in the multibillion-dollar scheme and his struggle to rebuild his life.
