Madoff Lover Still Talking About Tiny Penis

Oh, and forget about her being in the clear—Weinstein says she 'had to know'

(Newser) – Sheryl Weinstein is still expounding on Bernie Madoff’s “not very large” penis, most recently to Cindy Adams of the New York Post. “It was narrow,” she says. “Tiny in terms of girth, not length.” Still, he somehow convinced scores of women to sleep with him—“he was a player,” Weinstein says—thanks in part to the wonders of sexual positioning: “Did you ever hear of being on top?”

“He didn't find his wife sexual,” she continues. “Ruth’s actually quite mannish.” But Weinstein seemingly changed her tune on Mrs. Madoff’s knowledge of the Ponzi scheme, saying, “He told me his wife was always 'on top of everything' so I would guess Ruth had to know, unless she chose not to. I have no actual information, but I'd just say maybe his sons also chose not to know.”
