NEW YORK: If Ruth did divorce Bernie, what is the value of the marital assets she wants a piece of?

So, the Madoffs were not billionaires. I was reading on Reuters just now, that the Madoffs were worth in excess of $800 million as of the day before he was jailed. $800 million is nothing to sneeze at, of course.

Ruth Madoff and Bernie’s permanent asset freeze: what about the jewelry?

I am going to keep this one short and sweet, but now that Mr. Bernard Madoff has agreed by stipulation to a permanent asset freeze, and to not contest the civil lawsuit being waged against him in U.S. District Court in Manhattan on account of the ponzi scheme he admitted to running, now what? Will Ruth keep her jewelry? The former Nasdaq [...]

Michelle Schrenker’s assets gets frozen

Remember Michelle Schrenker? We certainly did a few posts on her so you can feel free to check them out here: http://www.divorcesaloon.com/index.php?s=michelle+schrenker  But, so, Michelle's back in the news because the Feds have found out that just prior to filing for divorce against her philandering husband Marcus, she dipped into accounts [...]

The New York Post Page Six is reporting that Bernie Madoff's son Andrew has been served with a divorce petition. As everybody's heard by now, Bernard Madoff was a Wall Street honcho who is being accused of one of the biggest investment frauds in Wall Street history. He's accused of using a ponzi scheme - paying old investors with the [...]
