Madoff Liked Them Gorgeous, Blond, and Young

Secretaries were paid off to be discreet

Share

(Newser) – Bernie Madoff practically had his own harem, and former mistresses were often paid off—to the tune of $250,000 in one case—to keep quiet, the New York Post reports in a look at the latest Madoff book. “He started having affairs all over the place,” one insider tells Jerry Oppenheimer in Madoff With the Money. A former employee recalls, “They were gorgeous. They were blond. They were young. They were like baby Ruths—the same type as Ruth, with the same hair color and eye color.”

If you're going to be rich, don't get married. Reply
