Ponzi Fraudster Bernie Madoff's Sister Dead In Suspected 'Murder-Suicide' At Florida Home
The sister of late Ponzi fraudster Bernie Madoff was killed in what's being called a possible murder-suicide in South Florida, according to Boca Raton News.
Last Thursday, Sondra Wiener, 86, and her husband Marvin Weiner, 90, were found "unresponsive" inside their private gated community home in Valencia Lakes, located in the Tampa Bay Area.
The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office confirmed a murder-suicide investigation is underway but would not release names of the deceased. Only Boca Raton News confirmed Bernie's only sister and her husband died from gunshot wounds. It remains unclear who killed the other.
An email was sent out to the residents of Valencia Lakes, confirming the deaths of the Weiners.
"Let me start off by stating that as many of you have heard, we had a tragic situation on Barca Boulevard regarding the passing of Sondra and Marvin Weiner. Our thoughts and condolences go out to their family. There is currently an investigation pending. All I can say is at this time there is no security or safety threat to anyone in the community."
The couple's deaths come a little less than a year after Bernie died in federal prison of old age on April 14, 2021. Madoff spent 12 years in jail after operating the largest Ponzi scheme ever that unraveled during the 2008 financial crisis.
Bernie's sister and brother-in-law's deaths also follow a series of deaths among the Madoff family. In 2010, Bernie's son hanged himself inside his New York City apartment, and the other, Andrew, died of cancer in 2014.
According to NYPost, Ruth Madoff, 80, Bernie's wife, lives in a multi-million waterfront mansion in Connecticut with a former daughter-in-law's family. After the Ponzi scheme collapsed, Ruth had $70 million in assets and had most of it garnished by courts.
Suicide, death, and illness haven't just plagued the Madoffs and immediate family members. Three investors and a hedge fund investor who invested with Bernie committed suicide after their investments were wiped out. The most notable was Charles Murphy, 56, who jumped off the luxury Sofitel New York Hotel in 2017 after he invested $7 billion with Bernie.
