Bernard Madoff's Son Mark Found Dead In Soho Apartment



The eldest son of Bernard Madoff was found dead in his Soho apartment this morning. The Post reports, "Officers were called to 158 Mercer Street to respond to a report that Mark Madoff was hanging in his apartment. He was found at 7:30 a.m. by his father-in-law, said police sources." Today is the second anniversary of Bernard Madoff's arrest for his massive Ponzi scheme.

No note was found in the apartment. Mark Madoff (pictured, center, with his father and brother) was in news last year when he disappeared from his apartment after a fight with his wife. She called the police and it turned out that he had spent the night at the Soho Grand Hotel, paying cash and staying under a different name. He was described asbeing "prone to depressive mood swings and physical ailments, including stomach troubles."

More recently, a spokesman said that Mark Madoff was "unalterably bitter" over how his father was depicted (he wasn't too happy how he was being portrayed either) and was sued by the trustee in charge of locating assets for the scam's victims—he allegedly got $67 million from his dad's ill-gotten gains—but was not charged criminally. Bernard Madoff remains in federal prison, serving a 150 year sentence.
