US Marshals seized Ruth Madoff’s $7 million Manhattan penthouse today after she made a deal to give it up last week, the New York Post reports. Madoff “left voluntarily and in an orderly manner to which all sides agreed,” said her lawyer. “We’re not here to load up (the apartment’s contents) today,” said one marshal. “We are here to officially seize the property.” (More Ruth Madoff stories.)
