hunky, it may have nothing to do with his father being in a bad light - his sons are also being charged with criminal activity.
That bastard was too cheap to hire a freaking babysitter and killed himself right in front of his son.
I've not paid much attention to this while situation, however the New York Times reported the following:
Deputy Commissioner Paul J. Browne ... said that the victim’s “two-year-old son was asleep in an adjoining bedroom.”
The steps that led to his father’s arrest began when he and his brother, Andrew, confronted their father over his plans to distribute hundreds of millions of dollars in bonuses to employees months ahead of schedule.
That led to a private conversation on Dec. 10, 2008, in which Bernard Madoff told his sons that their entire lives — all the wealth and success the family seemed to possess — were based on a lie. His apparently lucrative money-management business was nothing but an immense Ponzi scheme, and it was crumbling under the relentless pressures of the financial crisis of late 2008.
Mark and his brother immediately consulted a lawyer and were advised they had to report their father’s confession to law enforcement. They did so, and the following morning their father was arrested at his Manhattan penthouse.
But charges have not been filed against any of the immediate family members, and their lawyer has said publicly that neither Mark nor his brother has ever been notified by prosecutors that they were the subjects of a criminal investigation.
